The Year Life Won in Serbia: The Otpor Movement Against Milosevic

This exclusive Tavaana case study describes the Serbian student’s movement Otpor, meaning “resistance”, which was formed by Belgrade university students who yearned for an open society. After the fraudulent reelection of long-time leader Slobadan Milosovec in 1997, Otpor was able to mobilize outraged citizens across the country to successfully remove Milosovec from power and establish a lasting democracy.
