Thousands of people in Serbia protest anti -government protests

Thousands of people have landed in the capital of Serbia to protest against the death of 15 people in the collapse of the railway station.

The government has attended 107,000 in Belgrade. The organizers and independent monitor have not yet estimated.

Either way, it probably rank as the biggest performance Serbia has ever seen.

Novi tragic collapse Last November, the government and President Alexander Vusic are angry. The protesters blamed corruption and corner cuts for loss of life.

He believes that the disaster reflects more than a decade of reigning by the progressive party of Vucic – who closely associated themselves with recent renewal of the station.

Despite several resignations – and Vucic’s urge that he is not going anywhere – the protest has only been increasing.

“We just want a country that works,” Jan Vasik, a student of law, told the BBC in the growing crowd in Belgrade.

“We want institutions that do their work properly. We do not care about what power the party is in. But we need a country that works, not where you do not get justice for more than four months.”

Republic Square – One of the four meeting points around Serbia’s capital, “15th for 15” protest – was filled to flow on Saturday.

Some people took shelter on the plinth of the statue of Prince Mihjalo – the traditional location for Belgraders, equal to Eros in Pikadili, London.

Others queued up along the road in front of the National Museum, which returned to the students’s square.

Other meeting points were every bit in front of the National Assembly in front of the employed randezavas.

While the protests on Novi tragic collapse began with students, they have joined by taxi drivers, farmers and lawyers.

Next to the major protest, motorbike riders pulled out of the National Assembly, which was faced against tractors around a camp of pro-counter-protectors.

Then a great reception was received in a parade by military veterans. He said that he would arrest a citizen on any person who attacked the students.

Students are calling for complete transparency and accountability on the collapse of a concrete and glass canopy at the station in another city of Serbia, which was renovated by Vucic and reopening only in 2022.

They want the government to publish all the documents related to the renewal project and say they are not satisfied with the letters that the authorities have released so far.

They also want those responsible for the disaster to be charged and convicted. Prosecutors have convicted at least 16 people, including former Construction Minister Gran Vesic.

But the allegations are yet to be tested. And the students insist that they will continue with their protests until the officials fulfill all their demands.

“We are progressing,” a student representing the Faculty of Darshan of Belgrade University, “We are progressing.” “But no of our demands at this point have been fully fulfilled.”

“Some politicians have resigned from their offices,” another said. “But they were not removed. We are not able to see anything yet but make empty promises”.

Prime Minister Milos Vusvik announced his resignation in late January. But it has not yet been confirmed by the National Assembly and has remained in its post.

But in Serbia, the real power is with the personnel, who insists that he is not going anywhere.

“I don’t give blackmail,” he told at a media conference on the eve of big protest. “I will not allow the road to pave a terrible future for this country.”

Vucic described student protests as “well intentions”. But he had low flattery words for opposition parties, labeled to members of “criminal cartel”. He accused them of trying to force the formation of “fraud interim government”.

Borco Stephanovic does not deny that opposition parties are looking for a “government of experts”.

The Vice President of the Independence and Nyaya Party has described it as the “only logical method” of the political crisis, which will establish the conditions for the new elections.

Like other opposition leaders, Stephanovic says that free elections are not possible at present due to the domination of the progressive party of media and state institutions.

But this is not one of the students’ demands. They are just calling to establish the truth behind the Novi Sad Disaster.

As law professor Miodrag Jovanovic said, “They are asking for things that I am giving lectures – the rule of law, respect for the constitution, and responsibility and accountability of public officials”.

Whatever happens during the protests that occur during the protests “15th for the 15th”, it seems that the students will rely until they receive some satisfactory answers.
