Macedonia: Student Protests and... Star Wars

After the Macedonian Government decided to enact legal reforms that further diminish university autonomy, the self-organized students reacted with a protest movement (more info bellow), under the slogan "No more Silence!" [mk]. Interestingly enough, today's protest in Skopje featured Star Wars iconography, proof that the protesters are indeed a new generation of Macedonians.
