"They tried to take our sign down. They tried to silence us. But when they try to silence you – you get louder! And you know what else they can’t do?

They can’t take our freedom!” declared internationally renowned motivational speaker Henry Ammar from the Main Stage of the EXIT Festival, in front of tens of thousands of people who greeted his speech with thunderous applause.

“I want you to imagine yourself pumping your LOVE, your TRUTH, your LIGHT into the whole world – because you know what? The world will hear your call for FREEDOM!” Ammar added.

On the third night of the festival, on the Main Stage, in front of tens of thousands of people, EXIT paid tribute to those whose efforts make every experience at the Fortress possible – its team. Despite unprecedented pressures and financial hurdles, the team knowingly risked the organization’s shutdown and the loss of their jobs to make this anniversary edition a reality. Accompanied by roaring cheers from the audience, the “heroes of Exit” took to the stage and sent a powerful message of solidarity to the world.

Members of the Exit team carried balloons bearing the word “Pumpaj” across the stage, and the audience responded to this rousing act with ovations. The entire Fortress echoed with chants of one of the most iconic slogans of the student protests in Serbia. A message previously removed from the fortress walls was revived, stronger than ever, through the voices of tens of thousands of people.
