Students Block Serbian Public TV Amid Nationwide Protests

In Serbia, hundreds of student protesters have blocked the entrances of the state broadcaster Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) in Belgrade, accusing it of biased reporting that favors President Aleksandar Vucic's government. These protests, which began following a tragic incident in November that resulted in the deaths of 16 people due to a collapsed concrete shelter, have escalated into widespread demonstrations against government corruption and a lack of accountability. The students are demanding full responsibility for the tragedy and have received significant public support, reflecting growing disillusionment with the political establishment. As protests continue almost daily, they have sparked significant unrest, leading to the resignation of the prime minister and increased calls for governmental reform. President Vucic has responded with a mix of dialogue offers and accusations of the students attempting a 'color revolution'. The Serbian parliament is also now set to debate and vote on a new government amid these ongoing tensions.
