I'm going to go ahead and guess that Western media has largely ignored what is going on in Serbia and reduced it to "anti-corruption protests" because it's not a story that fits into the favourite Balkan narratives.
All major universities in #Serbia have been occupied. Higher education is practically paralysed. 80% of Serbian citizens support the rebellion of the students; no other political force, not the SNS, not the opposition has ever seen such popularity.
