Tens of thousands of people gathered at the protests dubbed "School Class at the 11th Hour" that were held in multiple Serbian cities on Jan. 19, according to the Archive of Public Gatherings.
"In most of these cities, the biggest protests since 2000 have been recorded," the Archive pointed out.
Valjevo saw 3,500 people gather, which relative to the city's population size would equal 86,000 people in Belgrade. The rally in Belgrade was attended by more than 20,000 people, while in Cacak there were between 3,600 and 3,800 protesters, which would correspond to between 72,000 and 75,000 in Belgrade.
"In Zajecar there were 1,700 (people), which is equivalent to 72,000 in Belgrade. In Loznica some 1,300 people gathered, which is the same as if around 75,000 people took to the streets in Belgrade," the Archive of Public Gatherings said in a statement on Jan. 20.
Jan. 19 broke the record in the number of cities where protests took place on the same day. Over the weekend, protests were held in several towns where there had been none before that, including Nova Varos, Negotin and Babusnica.
"That raised the number of cities and towns in which protests were held at least once since last November to a total of 89," the Archive added in the statement.
