Thousands Take To Streets Against Government In Serbian Belgrade Demanding Snap Elections | N18G

On June 1, huge number of anti-government protesters filled the Gazela traffic junction in Belgrade, Serbia, demanding accountability for a deadly train station roof collapse in Novi Sad that occurred in November and claimed over a dozen lives. The protest, led by students, is part of a broader wave of demonstrations spreading across the country. Students and civil organizations have called for coordinated protests in 30 cities, turning daily rallies into the most significant challenge to President Aleksandar Vucic's 12-year rule. Protesters are voicing deep frustration over what they describe as rampant government corruption and incompetence, which they believe contributed to the tragedy. The student-led movement is gaining momentum, drawing attention both nationally and internationally, and is being seen as a powerful grassroots uprising. The demonstrators are using whistles, banners, and chants to amplify their calls for justice and reform, emphasizing the need for those responsible to be held accountable.
