As expected, the criminal regime is sending police and mercenary thugs on peaceful protesters to practice brutality.
More than 200 people have been arrested.
Reminder: 16 people were killed in Serbia through corruption and negligence. No one took responsibility. That's why people are protesting.

If you happen to be somewhere on the route, do stop by and greet them, because these young people are doing something extraordinarily brave and they need all the support they can get.
You may also donate to their cause.

After #TourdeStrasbourg 🚴 comes #TracktoBrussels 🏃♀️
These days, 21 students from Serbia are running a 1.950 km long relay ultramarathon to Brussels, where they are expected to arrive on May 12.
Why? To raise awareness about the systemic corruption that plagues their country and kills people.
