The protests, initially sparked by a train station roof collapse that killed 15 people, have grown into the biggest challenge to President Aleksandar Vucic’s rule, drawing in students, teachers, and farmers.

Protesters outside demanded a transitional government and fresh elections. The parliament was set to pass a university funding law and acknowledge Prime Minister Milos Vucevic’s resignation.
