Report from the Great March 1st Rally – Part Two
The city of Niš has never been louder. Literally all the streets were filled with people who came from all over Serbia to support the students who are demanding justice for the terrible accident that took 15 lives. After a five-day walk, the students had the strength to stand on the streets of Niš for 18 hours. Citizens joined them because, as they say, the students' demands are the demands of the people. The atmosphere was very emotional, and hugs were a common sight in the streets. The students had a cultural program, sports and social activities, and in the main part they read the student edict, followed by a musical program. The city was full until midnight and then cleaned up by the students and citizens who voluntarily stayed to help them.
Watch the full report.

Dolidze: Georgians are not giving up on the fight for a European future – There will be protests even during the holidays
Georgians will welcome the New Year with protests and will not give up on their European future – says the Leader of the For the People party, Anna Dolidze. Dolidze is an expert in international law, until 2018 she was the legal advisor to the President, and then a member of the Judicial Council.
In Labyrinth we talked about the stolen elections and the Russian hybrid influence that managed to divert the country from the European integration path. The protests escalated, and the use of water cannons and violence by the police did not change the Georgians’ minds to continue fighting for their rights. About 500 protesters, including some injured, will spend the holidays in detention. We also discussed with Dolidze the international support and the sanctions imposed by the US and the UK on some of the Georgian authorities, but not by the European Union.

In this episode of Labyrinth, we talk to Aleksandra Krstic, a professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, who was also a candidate for a member of REM, the regulatory body for the supervision of electronic media, but together with 6 other professors withdrew their candidacies due to numerous irregularities in the process.

Oberhuber: I do not expect Germany to stop supporting sustainable development
Interview with the Director of GIZ for North Macedonia, David Oberhuber
For underdeveloped or less developed countries, financial support from the international community is extremely important. After the major changes that have occurred in the United States, which have affected the civil society sector, part of the media, as well as state institutions, the question arises whether other countries will follow the same example. Specifically, today we are discussing whether Germany will maintain its current policy of helping the underdeveloped. We are discussing this with the Director of the German International Cooperation Agency GIZ, David Oberhuber.
