The organizers of the civic protest "97.000 – Odupri se", invited citizens to go on the streets on Saturday, at 6 p.m., for a new protest at the Independence Square in Podgorica. "This Saturday, we invite free citizens to go to the Independence Square on March 2nd at 6 p.m. and show that we are a state, that together we can lead to a fundamental change in the system that has forgotten it should serve to the public and the interest of citizens, not to anyone else. Let's resist," it was announced.
The protest on Saturday is the fourth civil protest under the slogan "97,000 – Odupri se!". "The protest walk of free citizens will begin at the Independence Square, where we will make new requests. After the speech and announcement, the walk will continue on the Street Slobode to the hill Gorica, then by Ivan Crnojevic Boulevard, Stanko Dragojevic Street, St. Peter Cetinje Street and back on the street Slobode to the Independence Square," the organizers of the protest announced.
They said that in the protest walk, "as earlier, they will pass by the institutions of the system that do not work in the interest of citizens. As before, let’s show power, but also the responsibility we have as free citizens, we expect our gathering to pass peacefully and dignified. We appeal to citizens to join us without any party, national or other characteristics. With gratitude for the past protests, we invite the participants in the fourth gathering to solidarity and respect for children, elderly, pregnant women and OSI population."
They said that the safety patrol service would pay special attention and security but expect the same from those gathered.
"We urge all fellow citizens to provide active assistance to the police service and react to the provocation of any kind by contacting the nearest officer. We should not allow any violent incident to jeopardize our legal right to show that citizens are the state. Through the protest let’s defend the Constitution of Montenegro in the only free institution that we have left – the Street. We invite to another gathering of free citizens. The key feature of this protest is #oduprise," the organizer said in the statement.
