Serbia’s striking students set off on 2-day march north as their protest movement widens

Hundreds of Serbian university students began an 80-kilometer march from Belgrade to Novi Sad to protest a deadly construction collapse that killed 15 people on Nov. 1, marking three months since the incident.
The protests have grown from concerns over corruption in construction contracts to challenging President Aleksandar Vucic's leadership, with demonstrations drawing tens of thousands of participants.
The students have rejected Vucic's offer for talks, insisting that state institutions should fulfill their responsibilities, and they have faced violent attacks from pro-government groups.
The march has garnered widespread public support, with citizens providing food and cheering for the protesters, as they demand justice and accountability for the railway station tragedy.
