‘We are the 99%’ in Serbia. What we stand for, clips from protests etc. Translations of titles are in the description of the video. Looks best in 720p.
Revolution is not only about going out in the streets. It’s also about knowing what is important. :)

Occupy Wall Street activists, one wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, rest on a sidewalk during a May Day demonstration in New York, on May 1, 2012.
Belgrade, Serbia, April 10th
Guy Fawkes was here :D
Spraying out the billboards during the election campaign in Serbia. STOP fucking wasting budget money on empty promises!
Belgrade, Serbia, 17.03.2012.
A gathering in front of the Department of Justice, the institution that had its website defaced by an Anonymous under a nick SunTzu. He left a messaged saying that the department is corrupt cause normal people get harsh penalties, while criminals and crooks get away with their crime solely due to the fact that they have a lot of money and influence. Couple of days later he got arrested and they want to give him a penalty of 5 years! Curious fact: even rapists don’t get that much in Serbia, yet a smart 19 year old will???
#Belgrade, 12.03.2012.
#Anonymous arrested just because he was expressing an opinion!
The police arrested a lone protester who was wearing a #GuyFawkes mask and a message ‘You are not worthy of him’.
The background of this event is the following: Serbian prime minister Zoran Djindjic was killed in 2003. He was a very charismatic leader, particularly favored by the young. The killing shocked Serbia when it happened. His former colleagues from the Democratic party abuse the memory of Zoran Djindjic each year to gain political points. They know that the people see late Zoran as a positive figure. This ploy has become so freaking obvious that every year when we hear the politicians on the anniversary of his death we know what to expect. It’s disgusting on so many levels. This year a brave man stood up to that bullshit and he picked the Guy Fawkes mask to express his discontent. Cops dressed in civilian clothes immediately arrested him since they were ordered so by the regime (which is now the Democratic party - but they are faaaar away from democracy, more like plutocracy and thievery). Note that this guy did not do anything violent, he just walked in silence and wanted to express his opinion.
Instead of arresting real criminals (banksters, politicians, CEOs, drug dealers) the police in Spain have arrested a group of people who are fighting for civil liberties (that is what Anonymous are - freedom fighters). We have gathered for a short while in front of the Spanish cultural center (Cervantes institute) in Knez Mihajlova street to express solidarity with our Spanish colleagues.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
We are everywhere.

About me
We are the people who were inspired and joined together by a need to do something in order to change the prevailing state of discontent, injustice and absurdity. This collective state is being driven by the current economic and political system - the system which has become a purpose unto itself.We are striving towards a new society which will primarily value human beings and life itself, not economic or political interests. We are not a political party. We do not have leaders. Do not label us as democrats, communists or anarchists.
We demand a society where everybody has an equal opportunity, and not a society or a country where healthcare, education and food become the privilege of the rich, while hunger, sickness unemployment and participation in 'humanitarian wars' remain the only ‘privilege’ of the poor.
The current political and corporate system does not satisfy the needs of modern individuals. Such a model of society, which is being imposed on us, has lost its purpose a long time ago. The government is only protecting the interests of big banks and corporations. And yet they tell tales of ‘democracy’ – and try to sell us a system where voting on elections becomes a futile endeavor, given that all candidates are financed by the same economic elite.
We do not have to tolerate their selfishness and lies any further. We can peacefully win the battle for a dignified life – this however depends on the readiness and willpower of all.
It is important WHERE you want to be – on a sofa in front of the TV, where nobody is asking for your opinion, but brainwashing you into accepting a system of corrupt values and a distorted version of reality or in the streets and public squares, where at this very moment people around the World are seeking new paths and fresh ideas.
The movement which we named ‘99% of Serbia’ is a part of the global movement started by a handful of brave people at some public square in Spain. Today, hundreds of thousands are protesting in the entire World and millions are following our activity and providing support.
Let us join together and become free human beings! There are solutions to our problems!
