Archive of public meetings: The largest protest ever held in Serbia, about 100.000 citizens gathered in Slavija

The archive of public gatherings announced that, based on the available aerial footage taken yesterday around 17 pm, they determined that around 100.000 citizens attended the protest in Belgrade on Sunday.

"Having reached that psychological limit, it became the largest protest not only against the current authorities, but also the largest protest ever held in Serbia. Yesterday, more people gathered on Slavija Square and in the approaching central city streets than were around the Assembly in the most critical moments during the overthrow from the government of Slobodan Milošević in 2000," the announcement reads.

Also, as they say, it was twice the number of demonstrators than at the largest summer protest against lithium mining, and also twice the number of attendees than the current ruling coalition in Serbia has ever managed to gather in one place.

Certainly, they point out, it was the biggest event in history organized by students in Serbia.

"In addition to other records, for the first time since the Archive of Public Gatherings has been recording various types of gatherings, it happened that the determined average density outdoors was greater than two people per square meter," they add.

They say that an extremely massive protest organized by students was also held yesterday in Niš, where, according to their data, about 7.000 demonstrators gathered, which is compared to the population of 53.000 in Belgrade.

Students in Serbia blocked Trg Slavija in Belgrade yesterday in a new protest. They were joined by farmers, actors and citizens...
