Serbian Police Remove Barricades and Make New Arrests as Protesters Block Roads

In November, the roof structure at a train station in Novi Sad gave way, resulting in 16 fatalities and sparking widespread protests and blockades throughout Serbia.
The protests began as university students and professors led nearly daily demonstrations for almost eight months, blaming government corruption for the collapse.
Tens of thousands joined a weekend rally demanding a snap election, which President Aleksandar Vucic has refused to call, while police clashed with protesters causing injuries and arrests.
Authorities estimated the crowd at around 36,000 participants, reported injuries to close to 50 police officers and 22 demonstrators, and stated that about 40 individuals are facing criminal charges amid demands for the release of detainees.
Police removed barricades in Belgrade, and Vucic pledged law and order, denying corruption claims, while opposition dissent and demands for elections remain unresolved until 2027.
