By Tatyana Kekic in Belgrade Hundreds of students in Serbia began their two-day march from the capital Belgrade to Novi Sad on January 30, a journey of approximately 80 kilometers, as the country remains gripped by political turmoil following a deadly infrastructure collapse in Novi Sad late last year.

One of Belgrade's key traffic arteries turned into a campsite on January 27. Thousands of students and citizens gathered for an all-day road blockade, demanding political and criminal accountability for the deaths of 15 people at Novi Sad's railway station on November 1.

The protests began after an attack on drama students on January 24 by pro-government thugs during a daily 15-minute commemoration for victims of a deadly overhang collapse in November that killed 15 people.

Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in Belgrade on Friday stood in silence in front of the state television RTS building for 15 minutes to commemorate victims of a railway station roof collapse for which they blame Serbian authorities.

The video shows one of the participants of the student protest and 24-hour blockade action at Autokomanda in Belgrade, Serbia, which took place between January 27 and 28, 2025.
