general strike (Ilustration: Marko Somborac)
The students who have been blocking their respective faculties for months have called for a general strike in Serbia on March 7, appealing to citizens not to go to work that day, not to spend any money and to take to the streets.
The call has been supported by the expanded Rector's Board of the University of Belgrade, the Vojvodina and Belgrade bar associations, and a number of various unions, associations and initiatives.
The Coalition for Media Freedom has invited media outlets in Serbia to symbolically stop working from 11:52 a.m. to 12:07 p.m. on March 7, in memory of the victims of the Nov. 1 Novi Sad railway station accident.
BETA supports the initiative and will not be distributing news during that period.
