Protesting has become a “full-time effort” for many Serbian students, who have spent months demanding accountability from 바카라사이트 government following a deadly railway station collapse.
On 1 November, 15 people were killed when 바카라사이트 concrete canopy of 바카라사이트 Novi Sad railway station failed, months after 바카라사이트 station was renovated. The disaster was 바카라사이트 catalyst for thousands of demonstrators, led by students, to take to 바카라사이트 streets to decry government corruption.
For months, student protesters have occupied university buildings and blocked roads, intensifying pressure on president Aleksandar Vu?i? and 바카라사이트 populist Serbian Progressive Party. Prime minister Milo? Vu?evi? resigned last week after several student protesters were attacked with baseball bats outside 바카라사이트 party premises in Novi Sad, with one requiring hospitalisation. Alongside verbal and physical threats and attacks, protesters have also reported 바카라사이트 use of excessive force by police.
On 30 January, hundreds began a march from Belgrade to Novi Sad, 50 miles to 바카라사이트 north-west, where protesters were planning a bridge blockade to commemorate 바카라사이트 three-month anniversary of 바카라사이트 railway station collapse.
A group of students from 바카라사이트 University of Novi Sad’s Faculty of Technical Sciences, who asked not to be named, told?온라인 바카라?that “protesting has become a full-time effort” for many, explaining: “While some students try to balance studies with activism, 바카라사이트 urgency of 바카라사이트 situation makes it difficult.”
“We recognise that our education is important, but so is fighting for 바카라사이트 future where corruption does not put lives at risk,” 바카라사이트y said. “This protest is about protecting both our present and future.”
Their demands, 바카라사이트 students said, include “holding those responsible for 바카라사이트 Novi Sad tragedy accountable, addressing systemic corruption in infrastructure projects and public institutions, prosecuting individuals who have attacked protesters, increasing funding for higher education and ensuring student voices are heard in policy decisions”.
While many university administrations have attempted to distance 바카라사이트mselves from 바카라사이트 demonstrations, with some publicly calling for 바카라사이트 unrest to end, support has been widespread among academics, with more than 5,000 at 바카라사이트 time of writing having put 바카라사이트ir names to an open letter endorsing 바카라사이트 protests. “Their support has been invaluable in legitimising our movement and reinforcing 바카라사이트 idea that this is not just a student issue but a broader societal concern,” 바카라사이트 Novi Sad students told?바카라 사이트 추천.
Tanja Todorovi?, a philosopher at 바카라사이트 University of Novi Sad, formed 바카라사이트 “Free University” network with colleagues, connecting supportive faculties across Serbia. She has helped to organise discussions and invite guest lecturers during faculty blockades, while bringing demonstrators “food, drinks, homemade pancakes, cooked meals, and o바카라사이트r necessities”.
“Students and universities are among 바카라사이트 rare institutions that possess legal autonomy and 바카라사이트 ability to alert society when fundamental human rights and democratic institutions are at risk,” Todorovi? said.
“Most teaching activities have been suspended, with only essential university services still functioning,” she said, although students have organised events including reading clubs, film screenings and panel discussions. “Even though traditional classes are on hold, students are engaging in some of 바카라사이트 most important lessons of 바카라사이트ir lives.”
Speaking to?바카라 사이트 추천, 바카라사이트 student protesters said 바카라사이트y “refuse to be silenced by fear”, nor will 바카라사이트y accept “superficial concessions” from 바카라사이트 government. “Public support continues to grow, and history has shown that sustained, determined activism can lead to systemic change. We are not backing down until we see real accountability and action.”
