Students from Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, Novi Pazar and other cities where there are university schools arrive in Kragugevac
Demonstrations in Serbia continue with hundreds of citizens to have been demonstrating for three months demanding that the concrete cornice be held responsible for the collapse of the train station on November 1, 2024, which caused the deaths of 15 people.
The city of Kragugevac is today the focus of student mobilization. Students from Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, Novi Pazar and other cities Where there are university schools they arrive in Kragugevac. Yesterday night students arrived from all public universities who took part in a four -day hike.
In Kragugevacs they were welcomed shortly before midnight thousands of citizens. Today at 9:00 o’clock in the morning started blocking the city which will take 15 hours, one hour for each of the victims of the tragedy at Novi Sad Railway Station.
Their main demand is to make all the records on the renovation of the station that had been completed three months before the tragedy. Students’ uprising is also social as they seek respect for the Constitution and the rule of law where there will be independent justice and a clear separation of powers.
The city of Kragugevac was not accidentally chosen. Today, Serbia celebrates the anniversary of the first uprising against the Ottoman yoke in 1804 and the vote in 1835 by the People’s National Assembly that met in Kragugevac’s first Constitution. That Constitution defined the functioning of the autonomous, Ottoman rule, the Principality of Serbia. It was very progressive for the time as the powers were separated by something that students in Serbia are still claiming today.
This evening will take place in the center of Kragugevac Great gathering of students and citizens arriving from all areas of the country.
On the occasion of the national holiday, the ruling Serbian progressive party is organizing a rally in the city of Sremska Mitrovitsa in Vojvodina. The keynote speaker will be the President of the Republic Aleksandar Vucic, who called on citizens to participate in the rally. Vucic in a video posted on Instagram and appears to be preparing a sandwich for citizens, says that “they are paid by himself and his party and not by USAID and NED.” A clear hint by Vucic who argues that student mobilizations are funded from abroad.
