In Kragujevac, thousands of students and citizens participated in a significant rally demanding accountability and an end to corruption, following November's tragic roof collapse at a train station that claimed 15 lives. This protest continues a series of demonstrations across Serbia, notably impacting government officials including Prime Minister Milos Vucevic. The protesters, with many waving flags adorned with bloody handprints, are symbolically honoring the victims while pushing for transparency and systemic reforms within the government. Despite government attempts to address some concerns, students remain steadfast in their demands for real change.

President Aleksandar Vucic replied to the protests, urging dialogue and suggesting the students return to their studies, claiming their demands have been met.
