The students in the blockade announced last night that they do not support breaking into the premises of media outlets and institutions, nor do they call for that to take place.

In a post on X they stated that they "understand the happiness, emotions and the need to celebrate (election) victory, but it's important now to remain dignified and responsible."

They added that "the media will be freed in the parliament, through an institutional fight for freedom and professional journalism".

They asked everyone gathered at Slavija Square last night "to disperse peacefully after the celebration and go home."

"We won the victory together, let's preserve its dignity!", said the students in the blockade.

A group of supporters of the Student List gathered earlier in the evening in front of the TV Pink building, which was protected by the police, as well as in front of TV Informer, where they broke into the premises and clashed with the police.
