(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 05 APR - New student protests took place Friday in Belgrade, with marches, gatherings, and road blockades in various parts of the city, causing inevitable disruptions to public transportation and inconveniences for drivers. The slogan "Pumpaj, Pumpaj" (Pump it, Pump it) echoed everywhere — now a staple chant of the anti-government demonstrations in Serbia — meant to energize and motivate the participants of the daily protests that have been ongoing for five months across the Balkan country. On April 4, celebrated in Serbia as "Student Day," demonstrations were also held in other parts of the country. Meanwhile, about 80 students who rode bicycles toward Strasbourg entered Hungary Thursady. They plan to present their demands to EU institutions and the Council of Europe to draw international attention to the situation in Serbia, particularly highlighting widespread corruption and ongoing human rights violations. Their arrival in the French city is expected on April 15, after a more than 1,300-kilometer journey through Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, and France. Serbian diaspora communities in all those countries are mobilized to provide logistical support, food, sports equipment, and technical supplies. The group of student cyclists is also accompanied by some professors and academic staff, along with support vehicles carrying food, medicine, and medical personnel. At the same time, President Aleksandar Vucic has called for a pro-government rally on April 12 in Belgrade. The aim, he said, is to instill confidence and a sense of security in a population "mistreated and increasingly oppressed by the protest movement." "A lot of money has been invested, both inside and outside the country, to destabilize Serbia," Vucic said in a video message on TikTok. (ANSA).
