Historic Protests in Belgrade Call for Justice and Reform

Hundreds of thousands gather against corruption and government policies following a deadly infrastructure collapse.

Over 100,000 demonstrators convened in Belgrade on March 15, marking one of the largest protests in Serbia's history.
The protests were triggered by the Novi Sad train station collapse in November 2024, which killed 15 people and exposed alleged government corruption.
Led by students, the movement demands accountability, the enforcement of the rule of law, and punishment for corrupt officials, rather than the resignation of specific politicians.
President Aleksandar Vučić has labeled the protests as illegal and accused foreign powers of orchestrating unrest, while warning of potential violence.
Despite fears of clashes, the demonstrations have largely remained peaceful, with EU and UN urging Serbian authorities to respect citizens' rights to assemble.
