A youth-led civic campaign made its first conspicuous street action on April Fools’ Day, carrying a banner that addressed politicians with an ironic “Happy holiday.” Launched by the Balkan Youth League, the National Debate Organization and partner groups, MJAFT! (“Enough!”) used humor and direct action to make corruption and social neglect publicly discussable. Its donor-supported origins are part of the history too: civic autonomy developed within a political economy where international funding shaped the available space for activism.
