Hvala svima koji su prisustvovali demonstracijama u Londonu u subotu 23.februara! Posto smo protest organizovali za manje od 72h, zahvaljujemo se svima vama koji ste dosli i svima koji ste nas poziv prosledili svojim prijateljima i poznanicima i tako prosirili vest o istim.
Po slobodnoj proceni nas je na skupu bilo oko 700-800 iz svih vecih gradova u kojima postoje srpske zajednice, poput Leicestera, Bradforda, Readinga, Halifaxa, Southend-a i ostalih, i svojim smo dostojanstvenim ponasanjem osvetlali obraz nasoj zajednici u Velikoj Britaniji. Hvala vam sto ste doneli toliko zastava koje nas ujedinjuju, kao i transparente sa pozitivnim porukama. Nas protest je bio jedan od dvadesetak organizovanih tog dana u Evropi i svetu, te je stoga bio marginalno pokriven od strane srpskih medija.
Medjutim, nekoliko britanskih i medjunarodnih medija je objavilo vest o nasem okupljanju kao i video i audio intervjue. Kao sledeci korak, ocekujemo raspravu na temu Kosova sutra u britanskom Parlamentu i nadamo se da ce javno mnjenje cuti nas glas. Vasa pomoc ce nam biti potrebna da nastavimo nasu kampanju kroz direktno obracanje parlamentarnim predstavnicima pogotovo onim koji racunaju na glasacku podrsku britanskih Srba. O svim sledecim akcijama i preduzetim koracima cemo vas blagovremeno obavestavati.

We wish to thank all of you who attended the London demonstrations on Saturday, February 23rd! Since we organised the protest in less than 72 hours, we wish to thank all of you who came and who forwarded our invitation to your friends and acquaintances to spread the word about the event.
Our own estimate is that there were 700-800 people at the demonstrations from all bigger cities in the UK where there are Serbian communities including Leicester, Bradford, Reading, Halifax, Southend and others and that we made our community proud with our own dignified behaviour. Thank you for bringing so many flags that unite us, as well as positive messages on your placards.
Our protest was one of about twenty organised for that day around Europe and the world, therefore the coverage was minimal from the Serbian media. However, a few British and international media reported the news of our gathering as well as the video and audio interviews. As the next step, we expect a Parliamentary debate tomorrow in the British Parliament and we hope that our voices will be heard. We will need your help to continue our campaign through direct contact with your local MP, especially those who hope to win the votes of the British Serbs come election time. We will continue to inform you of any future events or steps taken.

It is estimated that close to 80 000 Serbs or people of Serbian origin live in the UK. A sizeable force.
Yet, we don’t seem to be able to make a difference. Our voice is simply not loud enough.

Given the recent developments in Kosovo, our PR Subcommittee has drafted a letter that you may use to write to your own MP and voice your opinion on the matter.
