Serbian students participating in an ultramarathon relay to Brussels arrived in the Belgian city of Liège on Sunday evening, where they were warmly welcomed by several dozen people, even though no official reception had been planned.
Local Serbs in Liège rolled out a red carpet for the runners, who were greeted with chants of the traditional Serbian student protest slogan: “Pump it!”
At the impromptu reception, a protest choir sang the Serbian national anthem, followed by the student anthem. After the performances, a 16-minute silence was observed in memory of the victims of the November 1 canopy collapse at the Novi Sad Train Station.
“It was a bit exhausting, this was the longest day so far. There were a lot of uphill sections, and it wasn’t easy, but we made it. I didn’t expect a reception today, so it was amazing that there was one,” said one of the student runners.
The students began their ultramarathon relay run from Belgrade, titled From My Village to Brussels, on April 25. They expect to reach their final destination—Brussels—on Monday, May 12, having covered nearly 2,000 kilometers.
