Serbian student constitutional advocacy bicycle tour
Overview
The ‘Guardians of the Constitution’ student bicycle tour has been traveling across Serbia to promote constitutional respect, justice, and accountability. The movement, organized by the ‘Students Win’ list, began in Belgrade on September 17 and has since reached cities such as Leskovac and Vranje.
In Leskovac, the campaign focused on political platforms including increased arts funding and accountability regarding the railway station tragedy in Novi Sad. By the time the tour reached Vranje, the movement had become part of pre-election activities for the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25. The Vranje gathering required a police cordon to separate students from supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
This student activism occurs during a period of political transition in Serbia, following the resignation of President Aleksandar Vučić to campaign for Prime Minister, with Ana Brnabić serving as acting president.
