Serbian student protests mark first anniversary of station tragedy

On November first, Novi Sad commemorated the anniversary of a tragic railway station collapse that killed sixteen people, including two children and a seventy-seven-year-old. The city held a silent vigil for sixteen minutes, and flowers were placed at the station, which remains a symbol of the disaster. The incident has sparked ongoing protests, with students leading the charge for accountability and new elections, accusing the government of corruption and failing to ensure safety. Thirteen officials have been charged, and European Parliament members are calling for a full investigation. Despite denials from Serbian leaders, the demands for change continue to grow.
