Half a year after the Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse, protests in Serbia grow, with demands for accountability remaining opposed to government maneuvers. A massive rally in Belgrade on March 15 saw over 300,000 participants, illustrating public unrest. Experts suggest that the current standoff might be resolved with the appointment of a new cabinet after Prime Minister Milos Vucevic's resignation. The government is contemplating new elections if consensus isn't reached soon, while President Aleksandar Vucic seeks to unify citizens with a proposed new movement.
"We are currently in a phase where both sides are playing the patience game, waiting for someone to make a wrong move in this game of nerves, while simultaneously reassessing the decisions that need to be made," Bojan Klacar, executive director of CeSID, told DW.
"It is time to channel the great strength of our people and unite all the wisdom and patriotism of our citizens so that we can shape the future we all want," Vucic said on Instagram following a meeting about the new movement's formation.
