Serbs in Gracanica peacefully expressed their dissatisfaction and disagreement with the violation of their human and civil rights, while reports said earlier that the event would pass without political speeches.

In Kosovska Mitrovica, along with the citizens, political representatives of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija also came out. Among other banners, there were those reading, "Stop to Kurti's terror," "Kurti will not drive us out of Kosovo and Metohija," "Europe, stop Kurti's harassment"...

Those gathered set off on a peaceful protest walk from the monument to Prince Lazar through the streets of the northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica.

A small number of Kosovo police officers were also visible. The protest was covered by a large number of media crews.

This morning, the Serb community was additionally shaken by the news that a judge of the Basic Court in Mitrovica, Ljiljana Stevanovic, was suspended by the decision of the Kosovo Judicial Council, because she traveled to Belgrade for a meeting between representatives of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija and President Aleksandar Vucic.
