Students call for 'Eco Rebellion' against environmental exploitation

University students in Serbia, currently engaged in a blockade protest, are rallying citizens for an "Eco Rebellion" scheduled for August 23rd at 5 PM in Ušće Park, Belgrade. The movement seeks to voice opposition against individuals and entities perceived as exploiting the nation's resources for personal gain.

In a statement on the blockade's website, organizers highlighted pressing environmental concerns, including the burning of the Deliblato Sands, the pollution of the Jadar and Mljava rivers, and the transformation of Bor, Zaječar, and Homolje into waste sites. They argue that these actions jeopardize the students' future and the nation's well-being.

The students issued a strong call to action, urging fellow citizens to actively protect their homeland. They warned that failure to confront those they describe as a "beast" that seeks to devastate the country and sell it to "colonial powers" will leave Serbia with nothing to breathe or live on.

Dok nam pred očima gori peščara, dok mute Jadar i Mlavu, a Bor, Zaječar i Homolje pretvaraju u jalovišta - naš opstanak i naše sutra se dovode u pitanje
