Six months have passed since the collapse of a concrete awning at the Novi Sad railway station in Serbia, which left 16 people dead and one seriously injured.
The incident on 1 November 2024 has led to national outrage, with legal proceedings ongoing in three prosecutors’ offices.
Over the past six months, teachers in primary and secondary schools, high school graduates, lawyers, and workers have also joined the protests and work stoppages.
Demonstrators are demanding full transparency over the reconstruction project, accountability for the collapse, and increased funding for education.
The government insists it has addressed the protesters’ demands, but students say key issues remain unresolved.
