Thousands of people greeted on Tuesday a group of Serbian university students who had cycled more than 1,300 kilometers (780 miles) this month to draw European Union attention to their struggle against corruption in the Balkan country.
Fireworks, drums and whistles echoed through the northern city of Novi Sad as some 80 students symbolically received medals and walked a red carpet in a joyous recognition of their effort in early April.
