University students in Serbia have taken to the streets in protest following the tragic canopy collapse in Novi Sad that claimed the lives of 15 people. The students, along with farmers and other citizens, have demanded accountability for the incident and are criticizing government corruption. President Vucic has called for dialogue, but the students have rejected his offers, accusing him of undermining democracy.
The protests have continued to escalate, with tensions rising and incidents involving drivers hitting protesters. Despite prosecutors charging 13 people in connection to the collapse, doubts remain about the independence of the investigation.
The 24-hour blockade in Belgrade highlights the frustration and anger felt by many in Serbia over the lack of accountability and transparency within the government. The students are calling for justice and for those responsible for the tragedy to be held accountable.
The protests serve as a reminder of the power of the people to demand change and hold their leaders accountable. As the protests continue, it is unclear how the government will respond and whether they will address the demands of the students and other protesters.
The blockade in Belgrade is a strong statement from the students and citizens of Serbia, demanding justice for the victims of the canopy collapse and calling for an end to government corruption. The world is watching as these protests unfold, waiting to see how the government will respond to the growing unrest within the country.
