Amidst a heatwave, Belgrade is poised for significant student protests demanding political reform. With an ultimatum to the Serbian government to dissolve parliament by June 28, the students express readiness for civil disobedience if their demands remain unaddressed. This protest is historic, taking place on Vidovdan, a day of national importance associated with past turning points. This movement stems from a response to the tragic collapse at Novi Sad Railway Station that killed 16 people and reflects ongoing societal dissatisfaction with governance and accountability.
"Should the stated demands not be met within the given timeframe, we expect that the citizens of Serbia will be ready to take all available measures of civil disobedience to protect their basic right to a free and legitimate democratic system."
"The upcoming protest comes after eight months of protests, during which students and citizens have demanded political and criminal accountability for the collapse last November of the canopy at the entrance to Novi Sad Railway Station, which killed 16 people."
