Huge marches held in Belgrade and other Serbian cities as anti-graft protests persist

Protest marches took place in Belgrade and northern Serbia, drawing tens of thousands of people in response to a call from university and high school students to strike against corruption in the country.
The protests are part of an anti-graft movement sparked by a concrete canopy collapse in Novi Sad that killed 15 people.
Many believe the canopy's fall resulted from corruption in government infrastructure deals, particularly with Chinese state companies.
University students demand full accountability, receiving support from citizens disillusioned with politicians and state institutions.
