Tens of thousands gathered in Novi Sad to commemorate the 16 victims of a tragic railway station canopy collapse on November 1, 2024, which symbolized corruption in Serbia. Student-led protests have escalated from calls for a transparent investigation to demands for early elections, leading to the resignation of the prime minister.
