Thousands rally in Belgrade to support students’ fight against corruption

Tens of thousands of students marched in Kragujevac, demanding justice for victims of the November 2024 railway disaster, where at least 14 people died due to a roof collapse at the station in Novi Sad.
The protesters plan to blockade a major boulevard for 15 hours in honor of the victims and are demanding transparency about the roof collapse, increased funding for higher education, and the dismissal of charges against students.
Despite resignations from Prime Minister Miloš Vučević and other ministers, demonstrations continue as the public blames corruption for the disaster.
President Aleksandar Vučić described the protests as a 'failed colorful revolution' and claimed that student demands have already been met.
