Every new encounter gives us strength to continue!
Our cyclists are tackling difficult stretches with steep climbs. They take frequent, short breaks to rest. Despite that, every new person they meet along the way gives them extra motivation to keep going. When they see the smiles of their fellow people, it’s all the clearer to them that the STUDENTS ARE WINNING!

Три дана на бициклима кроз приградска насеља и мања места
Support must reach everywhere. Both places where the protests are most discussed and there where the voices of citizens are less often heard. This weekend, students and members of the public are setting off on a tour around Belgrade – to meet people, talk with them, and show that no place is too far, and no one is too far removed from the common struggle.
From Saturday to Monday, from New Belgrade via Pančevo, to Mladenovac and back, cyclists will travel through suburban neighbourhoods, villages, and smaller communities that are often overlooked [lit. ‘remain under the radar’]. Alongside the cycling tour, students, candidates, and other supporters of the student movement will be going door to door, talking to residents and sharing information about the forthcoming elections and planned activities.

Support is built through conversation
Every part of Serbia deserves to be heard. Thatćs why the journey begins this weekend – to reach people, to talk face to face, and to make sure that nobody is left out of a community that is winning.
Three days, dozens of locations, and one idea, to connect, listen to one another, and together open up the space for change.
Students are winning!
