Several thousand took to the streets in Belgrade, demanding resignations and arrests of top officials over the deaths of 14 at a railway station.
Anti-government demonstrators hold placards reading “Corruption Kills” during a protest days after the death of 14 people in a roof collapse at a train station, in Belgrade on Nov. 11, 2024.
The rally in Belgrade blamed the collapse on rampant corruption and sloppy renovation work on the station building in Novi Sad—part of a wider deal with Chinese state companies involved in a number of infrastructure projects in the Balkan country. The several thousand protesters demanded that Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and his government step down and that those responsible for the collapse be arrested.
Monday’s rally was peaceful, unlike one last week in Novi Sad when masked people threw rocks, bottles and red paint at City Hall after thousands marched peacefully. Police used tear gas against the rioters.
