This Commentary in the vestibule of the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova was realized by a group of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade together with their peers from the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts and Design. The Serbian students came to Ljubljana to present the situation on Tuesday, 18 March 2025, three days after the largest anti-government protest to date in front of the National Assembly building in Belgrade.
Last November, the general state of affairs in the Republic of Serbia sparked the statewide activation of students who self-organized in protest against the corrupt practices of the government. They demand that the government assume responsibility for the tragedy in Novi Sad, where the collapse of the railway station canopy killed 16 people. The students have expressed their demands through civil initiatives and networking, and see their self-management as a necessary alternative for the young generation in opposing the repressive state authorities.
