- Tens of thousands gathered in Novi Sad on November 1 to mark one year since the station roof collapse that killed 16, observing 16 minutes of silence and demanding accountability.
- Confrontations flared in Belgrade and Novi Sad as anti-government demonstrators and supporters of President Aleksandar Vucic threw flares, with police moving in to keep the groups apart.
- The Interior Ministry said 37 people were detained on Monday on charges that included violating public order during an unannounced gathering.
- Dijana Hrka, whose son died in the collapse, began a hunger strike in Belgrade seeking accountability for the victims, the release of detainees, and early elections.
- Vucic backers have maintained a police-guarded tent camp outside parliament since March, a continuing flashpoint as protesters press for transparent investigations and resist nationalist influence flagged by EU lawmakers.
