Thousands of people took to the streets of 40 cities on all continents in support of students in Serbia in their fight for justice and change, the Diaspora with Students association announced.

Students from Serbia, the Serbian diaspora, and other citizens gathered from Alaska to New Zealand, united under the slogan: "The whole world is watching you!"

In all 40 cities, the atmosphere was filled with emotions, according to Diaspora with Students.

In Dublin, where 150 citizens gathered, red balloons were released into the sky in memory of the lives lost in the collapse of a canopy at the Novi Sad train station, which sparked student protests.

In Geneva, at the Square of Nations, after 15 minutes of silence and the laying of roses, a citizens' assembly was organized, at which participants discussed future support actions, and the atmosphere was further enhanced by the singing group "Pumpaj", it is reported.

In Narvik, Norway, the cold and snow did not prevent citizens from expressing solidarity with Serbian students. One of the attendees said that Narvik is a twin city with Kikinda and assessed that it was "time for old friendships to be renewed with new generations."

More than 200 people gathered in London, with the support of the British-Serbian Medical Association and the Greek Solidarity Network.

Among the countries whose cities participated in the action are the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Cyprus, Qatar, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.
