The Vidovdan protest at Slavija is not just another student rebellion. Momčilo Trajković, representative of the Serbian National Council of Kosovo and Metohija, handed students a special charter called the “Vidovdan Red Kosovo Peony.” Yes, you read that right — a charter! And not just any, but one that exploded in Serbian political circles like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Trajković made it clear that the students are not aimless rebels but the “cry of disturbed, determined youth” seeking a peaceful solution to the accumulated conflicts. In the decision he read, it is emphasized that students want to establish democratic institutions to govern Serbia, respect the Constitution, and preserve the country’s territorial integrity. All this, of course, aligns with the strategy of the Serbian National Council for resolving the state and national question of the Serbian people.
“We clearly hear the cry of disturbed, determined youth. We feel it as our last chance to save the dignity of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, to save Kosovo and Metohija, to save Serbia!” Trajković declared, making it clear this is more than a protest — it’s a fight for survival.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Trajković stressed that awarding this special charter is a response to criticism directed at the student movement, especially those demanding students “take a stand on Kosovo.” He sharply condemned political forces using “Kosovo blackmail” to halt the democratic uprising and change of power, calling them traitors.
Student Nikola Marčetić stated at the protest: “Our fight against the regime does not serve the people!” The Serbian National Council’s decision fully supports the students in their blockade and struggle for a new vision of Serbian society and state. It emphasizes that the “Kosovo issue” will never again be abused to stop democratic processes in Serbia.
Together, the students and the Serbian National Council promise to do everything to make Kosovo and Metohija a factor in seeking a creative solution for the benefit of the Serbian state, the Serbian people, and all the people living there.
This Vidovdan protest is not just another in a series. It’s a clear signal that the youth do not want to be silent spectators but active participants in their country’s fate. And the charter? It’s like a torch igniting fire in the hearts of those who want change.
If you think this is just another political show, think again. Drop a comment, tell us what you think — is this the start of a new era or just another illusion? Join the conversation, because Serbia’s future is being written now!
