Over 100,000 Protestors Demonstrate in Belgrade Amid Corruption Outcry

News summary

Over 100,000 protesters gathered in Belgrade, Serbia, for a massive anti-government demonstration, ignited by a tragic railway station roof collapse that claimed 15 lives. The protests, which have been ongoing for months, reflect widespread discontent with President Aleksandar Vucic's administration, accused of corruption and negligence. Despite warnings from the government about potential violence, the rally remained largely peaceful, with student-led groups forming their own security teams. Police reported minor incidents, including injuries from a car ramming into demonstrators, but the majority of the protest was characterized by calls for accountability and transparency. The significant turnout, claimed by officials to be 107,000 but possibly much higher according to some estimates, marks a critical moment for Vucic's government as it faces mounting pressure amidst a backdrop of resignations among high-ranking officials. Protesters vowed to continue their movement, signaling a potential shift in Serbia's political landscape.
