The power of civility

Bg anon,

a few days ago you asked me about the latest Vetevendosja protest and why there were no clashes this time. Sorry I couldn't get back to you, it has been a hectic week.

I think one reason there was no clashes between the police and the protestors, was the talks they police had in advance with the movement representatives. The other main reason was that they both behaved during the protest.It seems like Vetevendosje activists did an amazing job at organizing the protest. Also, the Police were very flexible and didn't want to cause trouble given the previous deaths.

Sorry for the brief answer.
