Cultural institutions in Belgrade on Monday began a three-day strike in support of and in solidarity with student protests and their demands.

The strike will take place from March 17 to 19, and this information has been confirmed to N1 by several cultural institutions.

The strike action was announced last Friday by the Ethnographic Museum, the Historical Museum of Serbia, the Historical Archive of Belgrade, the Yugoslav Film Archive, the Museum of Yugoslavia, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Natural History Museum, and the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments.

In a joint statement, they emphasized the critical importance of not only the individual demands but also of the manner in which students are collectively fighting for them, emphasizing that “employees in cultural institutions will act in solidarity and suspend work at their call.”

The said they are reminding the public and the responsible institutions of the urgency of fulfilling both the student demands, which they adopt as their own, and those that are actively articulated in the field of culture.
