About this talk
SEESOX (South East European Studies at Oxford) Seminar How did Serbia's student-led protests develop into a nationwide political movement capable of challenging the country's entrenched political establishment? How did students sustain mass mobilisation, build networks across the country and turn protest into electoral organisation? In this timely discussion, two prominent participants in Serbia's student movement share their first-hand experiences of organising protests, mobilising communities and building a nationwide electoral campaign. The conversation will examine the movement's electoral success, the prospects for a new government and the challenges of confronting entrenched networks of power, institutional resistance and the legacy of state capture.
