Students from the University of Novi Sad are planning to blockade three bridges over the Danube River on February 1. This is because it’s been three months since a concrete canopy collapsed at the city’s main train station, killing 15 people and injuring two others.
The students are angry that no one has been held responsible for this tragedy yet. They’ve been protesting for weeks across Serbia, but their demands have not been met. Instead, they’ve faced intimidation and even physical attacks from pro-regime groups while trying to hold small tributes to the victims.
The students want people in Novi Sad and beyond to join them in their protest. They’re calling on media outlets to cover what’s happening so that everyone can hear their voices. The goal is to make sure those responsible are held accountable, and justice is served for the victims of this tragedy.
