For Serbia's Muslim students, protest brings sense of belonging

Students from Novi Pazar walk past a church before entering Novi Sad, after completing a walk of more than 400 km from Novi Pazar, in Novi Sad, Serbia, October 31, 2025. A year-long blockade of Novi Pazar University by the students, which had stopped lectures from taking place, ended little over a week ago, after the replacement of the university's rector and the reversal of a ban on 200 students, who had been expelled for their anti-government activism. Their protest outlasted those at most other universities in Serbia, and saw students occupy the buildings even after authorities had cut the heating. REUTERS/Marko Djurica
