Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has taken multiple measures to ease public outrage after the collapse of Novi Sad’s newly renovated train station last November, which resulted in 15 fatalities.
Many protesters blame corruption, poorly drafted contracts, and a lack of expert supervision during the station’s modernization—a project linked to China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
On Saturday, over 100,000 demonstrators from across Serbia gathered in Belgrade, demanding stronger action against corruption. Vučić insists the protests are a direct attack on him, though analysts doubt they pose a serious threat to his presidency.
Despite several resignations, including those of local and national officials and the entire Serbian government, protesters remain dissatisfied. Their key demand—the release of full documentation on Serbia’s railway renovation—has been met only with heavily redacted files, leaving many unconvinced by Vučić’s response.
