When students take to the streets and basketball stars stand with them, you know something huge is happening! The protest called “Vidimo Vidovdan” gathered thousands of citizens across Serbia, including our sports heroes like Dušan Ristić, Dejan Bodiroga, and Dejan Koturović. These guys aren’t just on the court—they’re on the streets, backing students in their fight for justice and change.
Dejan Bodiroga, Serbian basketball legend and EuroLeague president, didn’t hold back at the rally on Slavija Square. His fiery speech called students “the noblest among us” and slammed those who label them terrorists. “Dignity is not extinguished!” Bodiroga declared, reminding everyone of past sacrifices and urging a peaceful fight for change.
The “Vidimo Vidovdan” protest isn’t just another gathering—it’s a movement that woke Serbia from a deep sleep. Students demand criminal and political accountability for the tragedy in Novi Sad, where 16 people died under the railway station canopy. This event sparked months of faculty blockades and protests nationwide.
At Slavija Square, a moment of silence was held for the victims, with an atmosphere charged with emotion and determination. Students unfurled a giant tricolor flag and made it clear they won’t back down until their demands are met. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić received an ultimatum to dissolve parliament and call early elections, while police urged peaceful assembly amid rising tensions and attempts at violence.
This protest is not just a fight for justice—it’s a fight for Serbia’s future. Basketball stars showed they’re not just sports icons but the voice of the people. Will the government listen to the youth and sports legends? Or will it keep ignoring calls for change?
If you think this is just another protest, think again. This is a movement that could change everything. So, where do you stand? Drop a comment, crack a joke, or throw down a challenge—let’s see who’s really on the people’s side!
