Don’t Let Belgrade D(r)own held its first electoral Assembly on Belgrade Liberation Day, during which the plan for the improvement of Belgrade was presented. New leadership was also elected, tasked with developing the movement’s inner structure and expanding the membership, which has doubled this year alone.
The Let’s Not Drown Belgrade initiative announced that it strongly condemns the announcements that the meeting of Belgrade Mayor Zoran Radojicic with the leader of the Vienna branch of the far-right FPÖ (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs – Freedom Party of Austria) Dominik Nep should continue soon.
A grassroots movement in the Serbian capital has its eye on 2022 local elections as the next turning point in a battle to bring down the country’s ruling Progressive Party and President Aleksandar Vucic. But that’s only half the fight, says activist Radomir Lazovic.
What began as a nightly cheer for healthcare workers has inspired thousands of people to bang pots and pans, blow whistles and blast music to protest Serbia's ruling regime.
