On Sept. 17, university students from the anti-regime Students in Blockade movement commenced a ten-day tour of the country – on bicycles. As part of the Student Ticket’s campaign for the upcoming Oct. 25 snap parliamentary elections, two groups of cyclists will spend days visiting cities, towns and villages from Subotica to Vranje.

The two groups set out from Belgrade with one heading north and the other southbound. They plan to finish their tour by meeting in Kragujevac.

The students have said that they expect the number of cyclists – including those who join along the way – to reach about 250 people.
