The students blocking the state TV (RTS) headquarters for a 10th day called the public to join them in the early morning hours of Thursday, saying they were warned of a possible police intervention.
An appeal went out on social media and crowds of people responded. One of the leaders of the veterans who have been helping keep the students safe from provocations told N1 that they were there through the night and that there was no indication of a police intervention. Speculation on social media and among journalists is that the warning of a police intervention was a test to see how long it would take for crowds to reinforce the students who spent the night outside the RTS building. Earlier, President Aleksandar Vucic said that the authorities would decide when to end the protest.
The protest continued uninterrupted in calm on Thursday morning with student security monitors standing at the entrances to the RTS headquarters. The state TV continued its programming with pre-recorded short news which said the student blockade was illegal.
