Student-led protests erupted in Kragujevac, Serbia, demanding the release of documents related to a deadly roof canopy collapse at the Novi Sad train station that killed 15 people in November. On the same day, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic rallied supporters, warning against separatist sentiments. Demonstrators held a 15-hour blockade to coincide with the anniversary of Serbia's Statehood Day and observed a moment of silence for the victims. These protests, part of a broader movement across Serbia, have united diverse groups advocating for governmental transparency and accountability following the tragic incident.
The protests in Kragujevac reflect widespread public outrage over the authorities' failure to adequately respond to the November tragedy, demanding transparency in the investigation.
By blocking major thoroughfares, the students are not only marking the moment of tragedy but also uniting various sectors of society in a call for accountability.
