Serbia will hold an early parliamentary election on Sunday, and a grassroots, student‑backed movement is preparing a rally three days before the vote, according to Independent.
What happened
The movement, born out of nearly two years of protests, aims to end 14 years of rule by Aleksandar Vucic and his Serbian Progressive Party. Students gathered to share hopes with the Associated Press, expressing aspirations for a more democratic Serbia.
What the reports add
Independent provides a photo gallery of the students, each quoted on their vision: Mina Pejovic, 26, said she believes big changes are possible now; Ilhan Kokor, 21, spoke of a shift toward a "healthy society" based on integrity; Vojislav Adamovic, 24, described the struggle as eternal; Andjela Radojevic, 25, imagined a democratic Serbia free of corruption; Andja Prica, 20, called the moment crucial but warned expectations may not be met; Martin Rabrenovic, 20, foresaw a more democratic, less totalitarian country; Mateja Radosavljevic, 20, highlighted the political consciousness raised by recent blockades; Maja Brajovic, 27, hoped for new spirit and energy; Mihajlo Zivkovic, 20, stressed the need for cleaner air and greener cities; Vuk Nektarijevic, 21, warned of chaos if the movement fails.
