On the plateau in front of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade tonight, the participants of the "Stop Bloody Shirts" protest march, which is being organized because of the attack on one of the founders of the Alliance for Serbia, the leader of the Serbian Left, Borko Stefanović, and two of his associates, as well as the violence in the country, gathered.

The participants of the rally filled the plateau in front of the faculty and carried a large banner "Always a whistle, never more a gun", as well as smaller ones that read "May, Marijana", "For the rule of law and justice", "Gašić Bata in the darkness of this council".

Individuals carry the flag of Serbia, blow whistles, and have developed banners "RIP window cleaners", "Neonac Naprednjaci", "Broody gang", "Why are you silent Europe", "Down with the government, with all its might", "Open the media for the head of the opposition" and "To the head with all your might".

Basketball coach Duško Vujošević addressed the crowd, as well as actors Branislav Trifunović and Mirjana Karanović.

Demonstrators walked from Student Square, through Terazi, past the Assembly of Serbia and the building of Radio and Television of Serbia.

The Alliance for Serbia previously called on dissatisfied citizens to participate in a "civic, non-partisan walk" organized "as a sign of protest against the bloody shirts and violence of the current government."

The message they want to send from the protest in a "dignified and civilized" manner is that insults and threats are not their vocabulary, that metal bars are not their props, that "bloody shirts" must not become the flag of Serbia, and that violence must not become the "ruling environment". , it was stated in the invitation.

"During the last few years, verbal violence has become the main instrument of the current regime's rule. Everyone who dares to criticize Aleksandar Vučić's government - civil society activists, politicians, journalists... in one word: citizens. The drawing of targets on the back and the media chases have escalated again into the crudest use of force - breaking heads," read the invitation to the protest march of the Alliance for Serbia.

Borko Stefanović and two other party colleagues were attacked on November 23 in Kruševac in front of the forum of the Alliance for Serbia.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs then announced that they had arrested M. Ž. (30) and DG (31), who are suspected of the attack on Borko Stefanović and several other young men, and Minister Nebojša Stefanović said yesterday that within two hours after that incident, three people from Kruševlja were arrested.
