Major music festival pulls out of Serbia after backing student protests
Exit festival organizers announce pulling out of Serbia after supporting student protests, citing "undemocratic pressures" and loss of funding and sponsors due to state intervention. The festival, rooted in pro-democracy movements, attracted over 200,000 attendees and has a history of activism. Despite financial setbacks, the festival's founder emphasizes the importance of freedom and unity, leaving uncertain plans for relocation to another country.
