"Are you going to arrest Minister Vesic?" Did anyone ask him if he resigned? He probably hid in a rat hole," Bjelic asked the policemen, reading their names from the badges on their uniforms.
The activists announced that this protest is just the beginning of civil disobedience and that they will also participate in the protest in Novi Sad, as well as that they will be more radical, if they do not resign by then because of the tragedy in Novi Sad.
