The festival took place amid student blockades and growing civil unrest, reflecting the broader erosion of democratic space in Serbia. In this context, young people created a platform for open, inclusive dialogue on the EXPO 2027 project \u2014 an initiative marked by the lack of transparent public consultation, despite legal obligations for such processes. <\/span><\/p>\n

In response, FIST 2025 hosted an independent public hearing \u2014 the first of its kind \u2014 bringing together citizens and experts to critically engage with the project. More than a critique of EXPO, this event served as a powerful example of youth leadership and advocacy for democratic values and institutional accountability. <\/span><\/p>\n

The outcomes of the discussion were compiled into a citizen-led document and will be submitted to relevant institutions, amplifying voices excluded from official processes. <\/span><\/p>\n

By reclaiming space for democratic dialogue, FIST reaffirmed the essential role of youth in defending democratic society. <\/span><\/p>\n
