Citizens of Serbia are called today at 11:52 a.m. to stand for 15 minutes to pay their respects to those who died from the fall of the canopy at the entrance of the Railway Station in Novi Sad on November 1.

The students who are blocking several Belgrade faculties, demanding responsibility for the death of 15 people and the serious injuries of two, announced at 11:52 several road blockades, Beta reported. They also have support from members of the New Democratic Party of Serbia.

The representative of the "The Bridge Remains" initiative, Gjorge Miketic, announced that in front of RTS, the citizens of Belgrade will pay their respects to the victims in Novi Sad and point to, as he said, the silence of the public media service, which they demand to at least symbolically stop the program at 11:52 am.

The students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (ETF) in Belgrade, as a sign of solidarity with colleagues from other faculties and citizens exposed to repression, are starting today with a complete blockade.

They announced that every day at 11:52 a.m. they will organize a 15-minute blockade in front of that faculty, starting on Saturday, December 7, while a crossroads in Belgrade will be blocked today.

In Belgrade, students blockaded several faculties as well as the Rector's Office of the University, demanding that all documentation on the reconstruction of the Railway Station in Novi Sad be published and that all those who repressed students and professors at previous gatherings be held accountable.

The Green and Left Front (ZLF) called on the citizens of Serbia to stand for 15 minutes in memory of those who died in Novi Sad.

"Block the intersection, get out of the car, in front of the institutions, wherever you are!" We will not give up until you who are responsible for this crime are held accountable," the Facebook post said.

Novi Sad's opposition parties announced that a special gathering place will be near the Assembly of Vojvodina.

The representatives of the opposition in Nis announced that the citizens will stop again for 15 minutes to pay respect to the dead and send a message of solidarity to the families of the dead. They also gathered and paid their respects on the previous two Fridays, Beta reported.
