Product Description
Supporters of Slobodan Milošević traveled from city to city, carrying countless slogans. Like many other photojournalists, reporters, and cameramen, I followed these rallies and documented them. Over time, I began to recognize familiar faces — organized groups arrived from Kosovo, Montenegro, and numerous cities across Serbia. In their structure and mobilization, they resembled what would decades later be known as “sandwich activists,” although the term did not exist at the time.
A large “spontaneous” rally took place in Novi Sad. Bracika Kertes addressed the crowd, while a man standing behind him could be heard prompting: “Say that you are Hungarian and that you are not afraid of Serbs.”
This event marked the beginning of the anti-bureaucratic, so-called Yogurt Revolution — named after the yogurt containers (visible on the ground) thrown by demonstrators at the building of the provincial government. It became the label for a broader political movement opposing bureaucratic and centralist power structures in socialist Yugoslavia.
