Serbia’s striking students create ‘festival atmosphere’ to pass the time during protests
University students in Serbia are leading anti-graft demonstrations following a tragedy at the Novi Sad train station that killed 15 people on Nov. 1, 2023.
The protests have attracted large crowds demanding justice, with critics blaming government corruption for the incident.
Students have organized various activities, including a 2-day walk and daily demonstrations, showcasing their determination and creativity.
One student described the atmosphere as a 'festival,' emphasizing unity and energy among participants during their protests.
Over the weekend, students spent more than a day blocking a bridge in Novi Sad in the north of Serbia. They slept in tents in the park and spent most of the week camping outside. During that time, they read, played with a ball or games, or just hung out.
