Protests since the accident in November
The accident on November 1, 2024 with 16 dead had caused the wave of protest in Serbia, which has been going on for months. If it was initially the event of the cause of the accident, the almost daily mass protests are now directed against the government of President Aleksandar Vucic, whose management and politics have considerably autocratic characteristics, and the widespread corruption in the country.
The protests are mainly worn by students. They blocked the universities and organized huge meetings. The Serbian government is under great pressure because of the protests. President Vucic repeatedly describes the protests as controlled by abroad.
