Historic Protest in Serbia Draws Over 100,000 Against Corruption and Vucic's Government

The peaceful demonstration in Belgrade, led by students, calls for accountability and legal reforms following a deadly infrastructure collapse.

Over 100,000 demonstrators gathered in Belgrade, marking what observers call the largest protest in Serbia's history.
The protest was sparked by the November collapse of a train station roof in Novi Sad, which killed 15 people and highlighted alleged government corruption.
Participants, led by students, are demanding justice, legal accountability, and stronger rule of law rather than outright political resignations.
President Aleksandar Vucic, accused of authoritarianism and corruption, dismissed the protests as foreign interference and warned against street-driven governance.
Despite fears of violence, the event remained largely peaceful, although isolated incidents, including a car attack on marchers, were reported.
