The purpose of these protests against the high-treasonous and criminal colonial administration is, above all, to awaken that part of the people who have been lulled to sleep by media fairy tales about the “Golden Age of Serbia”…

That’s why the noise accompanying the protest marches is getting louder every day, and the motto of this protest was – pumping!

The second day of the great Serbian holiday of Sretenje (The Meeting), February 16th, is also Statehood Day, which is celebrated as the anniversary of the First Serbian Uprising led by Karađorđe Petrović. That was the time when rebels from all over Serbia gathered against the cruel Ottoman rule in 1804. In this spirit, students have devised a protest in which people will gather at three points in the city, and then symbolically meet in front of the Smederevo High School on Sretenje.

The gathering started around five o'clock…

…and by the time we started a march to High School, about 1,500 people had gathered at the Tsarina.

All three columns met at around six o'clock at the main city intersection near the High School building.

When all three columns gathered, a tribute was paid to the victims of criminal corruption in Novi Sad – 15 minutes of thunderous silence…

Then came the awakening of citizens still tied to the television…

As the number of people at the protests grows, so does the support along the route. We were greeted by cafe owners and workers, prospective students, and anti-regime pets…

A few days before this gathering, students passed through the city on their way to Kragujevac, and on that occasion they were presented with the symbolic key to Smederevo:

In front of the Smederevo Cultural Center, the public had the opportunity to hear two student speeches related to the historical significance of Sretenje and the famous Sretenje Constitution of 1835, the freest Constitution in Europe in the 19th century.

There is nothing more beautiful at this protest than seeing new, patriotic generations who, like our ancestors, are growing up against tyranny. And there was still room for humanitarian aid, while the choir sang the anthem “God of Justice!” and the beautiful “Arise Serbia!”

Colleagues from SD Cafe always come equipped with a drone, so from their footage you can better estimate how many people attended this event:

Smederevo is organizing the next protest on Saturday…

And on March 1st, we all know… Everyone to Niš!
