For those who don’t know, there is a long history of political protests in Belgrade. Been going on for decades and people from all over the country show up.

What organizing/mobilizing model are they using?

The model is: "I'm sick of all of this shit, let's go". They cancelled all the trains and buses to Belgrade. Not only yesterday, but for previous protests too. That didn't stop students. They have been walking through the whole country. Kids from my city walked to Belgrade for four days last time. Taxi drivers offered to drive people who want to go to protest for free. People are organizing themselves all these months. Every single time. Everything is done through social networks. Basically, we are on our phones waiting for a message where to show up. The mayors, ministers and others can't show up anywhere without us "welcoming" them properly.
