Hundreds of Thousands Protest in Belgrade, Demanding Accountability from Vucic Government

News summary

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has responded to widespread protests by promising open dialogue and anti-corruption reforms following a massive rally in Belgrade, which is reported to be one of the largest in the country's history. The protests were sparked by public outrage over a tragic roof collapse at the Novi Sad train station that killed 15 people, with demands for increased government accountability and transparency. While official estimates suggest around 100,000 participants, independent sources claim the number could be as high as 300,000. The demonstration has remained largely peaceful despite some violent incidents. Vučić acknowledged the significant turnout as a clear message from the public, although he cautioned about foreign influence in the protests. Calls for government reform, including a budget increase for higher education, continue to resonate among demonstrators, as they seek justice and systemic change.
