Belgrade, Nov.28, 2009(Serbia Today) - The University of Belgrade students who had been protesting in front of the Serbian Government main administration building on Wednesday will gather again at the end of the week.
The students are calling for the so-called cumulative registration, which stipulates that all those who meet the conditions to receive educational assistance should receive the funds in the form of one time installment for 2009/2010 academic year, according to Serbian news service B92.
They are also calling for assistance for students who have 48 or more credits which are not covered from the budget. Reported outages in the heating of University Halls during the recent cold weather has also contributed to the students concerns.
The students also blocked Brankov Bridge across the Sava River at one point, before leaving from in front of the Government building in Nemanjina St., at midnight last night, according to Serbian news agency Beta.
Both Kneza Milosa and Nemanjina streets were blocked as the protesters held a two hour meeting with the Government on Wednesday.
The traffic in the wider city center was also significantly slowed because of the protest.
