The Autokomanda in Belgrade is blocked today, traffic is completely stopped, and students have stopped at the South Boulevard, at the beginning of the Autokomanda.
Student protesters have surrounded the Autokomanda and all the access streets, and are being helped by bikers with parked motorcycles, as well as traffic police.
Students have hung a large banner “Horns for Students” on the overpass so that drivers passing by on the highway can see it.
The bikers have put stickers on their motorcycles saying “Autokomanda”, “You can’t go any further”, as well as a sticker “For Sonja, you won’t step on us”.
The students have called on citizens to join them, and this has already been done by a group of farmers who have come to Belgrade with several dozen tractors to, as they say, “stand by their children”. The students have also been joined in the blockade by several dozen bikers on motorcycles.
In contrast to numerous previous blockades, during which some drivers crashed into groups of students and seriously injured two female students, the students today have the traffic police as security, which also diverted public transport to alternative routes in the surrounding streets.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called the blockade illegal, but said it was important to guarantee the safety of students and all citizens.
