ei tarvii kuin menolipun, takaisin tulon maksaa suomenvaltio, mikäli ruumis löydetään ja tunnistetaan... :happyroll:
October 1999: NATO involvement in Serbia has drawn to an end, but Milosevic remains in control of the country. Student union (sus) activists from Novi Sad organize a demonstration called `straight to the head'; video retrospectives of wars, refugees, and other `fruits' of Milosevic's dictatorship run on two huge screens on the university campus. It gathers around 20'000 students from all over former Yugoslavia. The student movement, later to be known as OTPOR (resistance), completes the month long demonstration with an 80km walk from Novi Sad University to the capital Belgrade in October of that year. Hours of police questioning, threats, arrests and occasional beatings brought the activists even greater resolve, and a plan was hatched to create the biggest demonstration of youth sentiment ever the following year. EXIT was born.
July - September 2000: The previous year NATO forces had bombed Novi Sad for 100 days. This year, for one hundred days the EXIT organisation coordinate a continuous program of cultural and academic events, beach parties, live concerts and performances with a very powerful social dimension. It has one goal- to motivate all social groups, especially young people, to vote at the presidential elections and remove Milosevic from power. 200'000 people come to Novi Sad during those 100 days to join the demonstration. The closing night of EXIT 2000, named "System Virus 2000 - he is finished!" is timed to perfection. It comes only 2 days before the poll on September 22; the message is perfectly clear- see you in the voting stations. Two weeks after the final count the EXIT movement journey to Belgrade in their thousands to take part in the final 500'000 strong demonstration that physically removes Milosevic from power.
July 2001: Many felt that EXIT had served its purpose, but this certainly wasn't the case. EXIT had united thousands of young people from all over Yugoslavia. It was time to celebrate their success and their freedom. In July 2001, only 9 months after the democratic changes, EXIT host the first official EXIT Festival. It gathers 250'000 young people from all over the Balkans.
