Thank you for this comment and support for a beginner writer from Serbia 🙂
The older generation was so tired of all the shit from the past and they just didn't have the motivation to fight anymore... The new generation had to come, with fresh blood, with all the rights to protest against dictatorship and crooks!
The spirit of the opposition never stopped burning in me (even though collectively we were all soaked...).
I have always been loud, when it was necessary to give criticism, to revolt people from the environment, but also to be a leader in loudly expressing dissatisfaction.
I guess that's how progress is made. If we are silent, there is no change (for the better).
Young people, students, have finally realized that... They are no longer disinterested and this is a great sign, that there is still light at the end of the tunnel.
The number of years that I live far from my family and friends... 😔
So many years have passed since my brother moved to Scotland with his family.
I miss them, just like you miss yours... But at least they are there (like you, with your family), where they are treated like people.
You have a son who is a student, he is going to university and he is thinking about which city in Europe he will go to for his first vacation...
And do you know what our students were doing here in the blockade, on the day of this protest, expecting the worst, from the authorities, police and paid beaters?
On their forearms, they wrote the phone numbers of their emergency contacts (mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters) and information about their blood type with markers.
When their parents found out... They cried en masse.
And what do you think, what kind of message do they have for the one who organized but also announced the bloody protests and who fired a sound cannon at the people in prayerful silence with the desire to cause a stampede. Evil.
