Anti-government protests continue in Serbia’s Belgrade as students call for early vote

Tensions have soared ahead of the protest organized by Serbia’s university students, a key force behind nationwide anti-corruption demonstrations that started after a renovated rail station canopy collapsed, killing 16 people on Nov. 1.

University students and other people commemorate the 16 victims, who were killed after a railway concrete canopy fell in November 2024 in Novi Sad, during a protest against government pressure on the universities, in front of a government building, in Belgrade, Serbia. Reuters
