People from across Serbia walked to Belgrade, where residents greeted them with music, applause, traditional dances, and fireworks.
Citizens gathered near the Rectorate, Student Square, and Republic Square to welcome the marchers. People walking from western Serbia received a first welcome at the Ada Mol shopping center before continuing toward Slavija, where they planned to meet with a group coming from eastern Serbia.
During the walks, people danced the kolo, a traditional circle dance, and chanted “Ode Aleksandar.” Residents of Zemun, a town near Belgrade, also held a large welcome for people walking from Novi Sad, celebrating with cheers, embraces, and fireworks. Participants told N1 television they felt invigorated by the welcomes and had momentarily forgotten any discomfort from their journey.
The marchers carried a large banner reading “Victory Comes from the North” and planned to join a final pre-election rally organized by the Student List on October 22 at Slavija Square.
