Reportage from the biggest protest Belgrade has ever seen
Due to the days of silence, we decided not to publish any other content, so today we are publishing the
reportage from the big protest that took place in Belgrade on March 15th.
We welcomed the three walking groups of students who arrived the day before and followed the entire
protest to the end. We talked to several Serbian actors about the current situation, as well as some of
the students, bikers and citizens. A sound cannon was also used at the protest, and one of the injured
students told his experience in the Labyrinth. Watch the full episode.
Тивок и мирен собир на скопскиот плоштад за трагично загинатите во пожарот во Кочани. Со солзи во очите, граѓаните по молкот запалија свеќи и оставија цвеќе.
Голем број студенти се собраа на кампусот на УКИМ да изразат сочувство за настраданите во страшниот пожар во дискотеката во Кочани. Обраќања имаа ректорката и министерката за образование, а на неколкумина студенти им се слоши за време на едно од обраќањата. Режисерот Леонид Велковски за ИД Медиа го проследи овој собир и поразговара со претседателот на УСС – УКИМ и со неколкумина студенти.
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.
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.
Serbian students were welcomed in every city with tears in their eyes, loud applause and fireworks.
After the big rally in Kragujevac, the students also organized a walk to Niš. They set off from several
different cities and walked for five days to their final destination. As a sign of support, several citizens, a
group of marathon runners, as well as a group of cyclists, joined them, and the locals organized a
welcome with loud cheers and torches. Throughout their journey, the students had medical support
provided by medical students, as well as by medical staff from institutions across Serbia who
volunteered to treat their wounds. Watch the reportage from part of the students' journey, and
tomorrow the second part will follow, namely the reportage from the big rally on March 1st.
In this episode we discuss the role of the religions in the post conflict period on the Balkans. How did the religions contribute to making peace and are we living in a harmonized society today? On these topics, Evi Shkopi is talking with the teologist and sociologist Musa Musai about the Islamic point of view, and Kristina Atovska is talking with the Professor and Priest Milan Gjorgjevic about the Orthodox point of view.
It's been exactly three years since the start of the war in Ukraine. After US President Donald Trump
came to power, US support for Ukraine has completely changed and the pressure to start peace talks
has increased. We talk to Olena Halushka from Kiev, co-founder of the International Center for
Ukrainian Victory, about whether Ukrainians are ready to give up rare minerals and meet Trump's
demands, as well as about public opinion in Ukraine about the pressure from the US.
