In Novi Sad, citizens and striking students gathered in front of Banovina today at 5 PM to show solidarity with Hrka and Milomir Jaćimović, highlighting the growing anger against a government they accuse of hunger for power. As organizers emphasized, “One mother and one father are on a hunger strike for someone who is starving for authority.”
The demonstration comes amid mounting outrage over the regime’s disregard for human rights and political accountability. Jaćimović, who has been on a hunger strike for eight days, fainted today while police conducted an investigation of the bus he had delivered to Banovina. Authorities’ interference with peaceful acts of protest illustrates a pattern of intimidation and control, critics say.
Despite his condition, Jaćimović refused to be taken to the Emergency Center and was instead examined in the tent where he continues his protest, underscoring the persistence of those standing up to an administration accused of repressing dissent.
The rallyers’ message was clear: they are demanding justice and fair elections, holding the regime accountable for what they describe as political oppression and a blatant hunger for control.
The situation in Novi Sad reflects a broader pattern of government overreach, where civic engagement and basic protest are met with surveillance, obstruction, and intimidation rather than dialogue.
The struggle of Hrka and Jaćimović is increasingly seen as a symbol of resistance against a ruling power accused of putting its own authority above the rights and wellbeing of its citizens.
