Serbia's protesting students rally to mark 7 months since train station tragedy

Thousands of people on Sunday (June 1, 2025) vowed to keep on fighting for justice and the rule of law in Serbia as they demanded that President Aleksandar Vucic call a snap parliamentary election following months of persistent demonstrations that have challenged his firm grip on power in the Balkan country.

Protesters led by university students blocked bridges in the capital Belgrade and rallied in 30 other Serbian cities and towns as they also marked exactly seven months since a concrete canopy collapsed at a train station in the north, killing 16 people and sparking the massive wave of anti-corruption protests. "The whole of Serbia has risen," protesting students said in a speech that was read at all the rallies at the same time, "There will be no more silence, there will be no more surrender!"
