Protests Over Corruption in Serbia

Tens of thousands of people protested in Belgrade, Serbia, demanding the resignation of President Aleksandr Vucic following the collapse of a railway station roof that resulted in 15 fatalities. This incident raised serious allegations of government corruption and nepotism, suggesting that poor construction practices led to the tragedy. The protesters criticize the government's failure to hold anyone accountable for what they perceive as a catastrophic neglect of public safety, with many demanding a thorough investigation into the procurement processes involved. Slogans like 'corruption costs lives' highlight the anger directed at the ruling party and underline public frustration with the lack of transparency and accountability in government projects.
