Organizers of the protests against election fraud told N1 that they would continue their protests in 2024 but did not specify when.

Opposition officials said the protest will most likely continue after Christmas which Serbians celebrate on January 7 because the Serbian Orthodox Church uses the Julian calendar. Some said that the protests might continue after Saturday, January 13 which is the Julian new year.

 

Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) leader Dragan Djilas told Nova S TV that the protests would continue but would not be staged every day.

 

Student protest organizer Nikola Ristic told Danas daily that their protests would continue after January 10 adding that a final decision has not been taken yet. “We will organize various non-typical activities across Serbia to motivate young people starting after January 10 when a decision on the next protests in Belgrade will be taken,” said Ristic who was one of the organizers of the 24-hour road block in central Belgrade.

 

The last opposition protest of 2023 was held on Friday, December 29 with the students staging their 24-hour road block at a crossroads next to the Serbian government headquarters earlier that day and ending it with a march to central Terazije Square for a protest called by the ProGlas non-partisan initiative.
