Thousands protest in Belgrade, blocking major road

Thousands of student protesters gathered in Belgrade on Sunday to block a major road, intensifying pressure on the Serbian government following the fatal collapse of a train station roof in November 2024.

The 24-hour blockade is the latest in a series of demonstrations, which have included a recent call for a general strike. The strike, held just days earlier, saw lawyers halting work and businesses and schools across the country shutting down in solidarity. Protesters are demanding accountability and swift action from the government in response to the tragedy.
