Inspired by the student plenums & citizen assemblies (zborovi), we practice direct democracy: every voice matters. Zbor Melbourne is a community group dedicated to supporting Serbian students, educators, and citizens in their fight for a fair and just Serbia. Inspired by the student plenums and citizens' assemblies (zborovi) in Serbia, we are guided by the principles of direct democracy — where al
l active participants have the right to be heard and to vote on matters raised within the group. Zbor Melbourne is not affiliated with any political party. Instead, we recognise the power of community and grassroots democracy in shaping the world around us. Ultimately, what Zbor Melbourne becomes will be defined by you — the active participants. No matter how far we are from Serbia, we are never too far to make a difference. Get involved!
