Serbian Students Lead Mass Bridge Blockade Amid Train Station Deaths, Triggering Political Crisis

Events: Yesterday in Novi Sad, tens of thousands of Serbian students blockaded three Danube River bridges to commemorate the three-month anniversary of a train station canopy collapse that claimed 15 lives. This led to the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and sparked anti-corruption protests across the country. Consequences: The student-driven protest has ignited Serbia's most significant political turmoil in recent years, resulting in the departure of three top officials and widespread general strikes. Although facing increasing pressure, President Vucic is adamant about staying in office, even as 13 individuals are being prosecuted in connection with the tragic incident.
