Students on a blockade in Belgrade and citizens who support them organized a rally today in support of their colleagues in North Mitrovica and citizens in Kosovo, where local elections are being held on Sunday, October 12th.
They came to the headquarters of the government's Office for Kosovo and Metohija in New Belgrade, making noise and protesting against Belgrade's policy towards Kosovo, from the direction of the Faculty of Law and Zemun.
They carried national flags and flags with images of church saints, sang Kosovo songs and chanted against Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.
Faculty of Music Arts student Nikola Marčetić told N1 that the rally is one of the most important, as it sends a message to the people of Kosovo that students are with them.
"Our people in Kosovo and Metohija have been exposed to the greatest torture, repression, and left at the mercy of others for years, and this freakish (Vučić's) treacherous regime is solely responsible for that," he told N1.
He sent, as written on the television's website, a message to his compatriots in Kosovo:
"Our message is that we stand with them wholeheartedly, that we are fighting and that, in accordance with our Constitution, Kosovo is an inalienable part of the territory of the Republic of Serbia," he said.
According to him, he will fight "with all his strength and all his heart" for these people and for respect for the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia,
Marcetic described the rallies of government supporters in support of Serbs in Kosovo as a "paradox and a farce."
"We have witnessed over the last 13 years, through all these unconstitutional agreements, that this regime is most responsible for the situation our people find themselves in," he said.
He believes that the Serbian Progressive Party wanted to present students as the "wrong option" and discredit them through its rallies.
