Serbia's Student Protest Movement Mobilizes for Largest Rally Yet

University students in Serbia are leading anti-corruption protests, which began after a fatal canopy collapse in November that killed 15 people, with many blaming government corruption for the tragedy.
The upcoming rally in Kragujevac is expected to attract tens of thousands of participants, coinciding with Serbia's Statehood Day, to support the students' demands for full disclosure and punishment for past attackers.
President Aleksandar Vucic plans a parallel rally amid accusations of government corruption and is facing increased pressure from the protests.
Community members express strong support for the students, reflecting widespread disillusionment with current leaders and a belief in their unity and hope for political change.
