Overview
- Tens of thousands filled Novi Sad and other cities for 16 minutes of silence at 11:52, laying flowers and completing long protest marches from across Serbia.
- Student-led organizers framed the day as both remembrance and a renewed push for justice and early elections after a year of nationwide mobilization.
- State prosecutors have charged 13 people, including former construction minister Goran Vesic, with no verdicts reported, while the European Public Prosecutor’s Office investigates possible misuse of EU funds tied to the project.
- Authorities halted Belgrade–Novi Sad trains citing a bomb threat, a move widely questioned by protesters given similar stoppages before past mass rallies.
- President Aleksandar Vucic apologized for past remarks about demonstrators, continues to reject snap elections and alleges foreign influence, as an independent CRTA poll shows his SNS trailing a student-led coalition.
