Tens of Thousands Gather for Novi Sad Tragedy Anniversary

In Novi Sad, tens of thousands gathered to commemorate the 16 victims of a tragedy a year ago, adhering to organizers’ requests for a peaceful remembrance without political banners or speeches. Despite logistical challenges, including a bomb scare and road closures, the somber atmosphere was marked by emotional tributes from medical staff and war veterans, who protected grieving families. Serbia’s President declared a day of national mourning, but underlying tensions remain as the protest movement demands change from a seemingly unyielding government. The day passed without violence, yet the determination of the protesters suggests a continued struggle for the country’s future.
