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.

The Student Edict Brings All of Serbia to Niš
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.

Kurti faces two scenarios – Coalition with the opposition or with minorities
Labyrinth in Kosovo
Albin Kurti’s party, Self-Determination, received the most votes in Kosovo’s regular parliamentary elections. These are the first regular elections since Kosovo’s independence in 2008. The current prime minister will have to form a coalition if he wants to retain the prime minister’s office. Analysts we spoke say that Kurti has two options, either a coalition with the opposition or with minorities. Negotiations are just beginning. In the campaign, which passed peacefully, the focus of politicians was mainly on ethnic issues, while the focus of the people, however, is on real social problems such as the economy, emigration and corruption. We talk to journalist Vjosa Cerkini in Pristina about all these issues, as well as about Kosovo’s international relations under the leadership of Albin Kurti. In Mitrovica, we spoke with political analyst Nexhmedin Spahiu, and in North Mitrovica, we asked citizens what they think about these elections.

Will the judicial system and international law prevent Trump's controversial ideas?
Interview with Professor Ivan Dinev from the University of Cincinnati
The new US President, Donald Trump, continues to shock the world. The idea of moving the residents of Gaza to another country has met with great international discontent. The decision to close the USAID organization, which grants grants to many sectors around the world, has also caused discontent and protests. We talk about these topics, as well as Trump's trade policies, with Professor Ivan Dinev Ivanov, who teaches at the University of Cincinnati. The professor believes that the judicial system will prevent Trump from deporting students who protested the situation in Gaza.
