Serbia’s protesting students rally to mark 7 months since train station tragedy

  • Thousands of protesters, led by university students, rallied across Serbia on Sunday to mark seven months since a deadly canopy collapse at Novi Sad train station.
  • The protests followed persistent demonstrations demanding a snap parliamentary election amid allegations that flawed renovation and government corruption caused the November 1 disaster.
  • Participants blocked key bridges in Belgrade for hours and held commemorations in Novi Sad, carrying wreaths and marching to the crash site.
  • President Aleksandar Vucic, who has been in power for more than ten years, first rejected the idea of early elections but later indicated they might be held soon, while alleging that the demonstrators are influenced by unnamed Western interests aiming to undermine Serbia.
  • The protests highlight sustained public demands for justice and rule of law amid fears of authoritarianism, media control, and doubts about uncovering corruption behind the tragedy.
