BELGRADE, SERBIA, JUN 27 – Protesters demand early elections amid months of anti-corruption rallies following a fatal infrastructure collapse that killed 16, with an independent group estimating 140,000 attendees.
- Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Belgrade last Saturday, demanding snap elections and an end to President Aleksandar Vucic’s 12-year rule.
- Mass protests began last December after a Novi Sad train station roof collapse that killed 16, widely blamed on entrenched corruption and negligence.
- Independent counts estimate 300,000 protesters in Belgrade on March 15, demonstrating massive public support for early elections.
- Authorities arrested over a dozen activists and deployed riot police around government buildings and Pionirski Park, intensifying government response to ongoing protests.
