#Serbian farmers join #striking university #students’ 24-hour traffic #blockade in #Belgrade
January 28, 2025
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — "Serbia’s striking university students on Monday launched a 24-hour blockade of a key traffic intersection in the capital, Belgrade, stepping up pressure on the populist authorities over a deadly canopy collapse in November that killed 15 people.
"Serbian farmers on tractors and thousands of citizens joined the blockade that followed weeks of protests demanding accountability of the deadly accident in the northern city of Novi Sad that critics have blamed on rampant government corruption.
"A campaign of street demonstrations has posed the biggest challenge in years to the populist government’s firm grip on power in Serbia.
"Serbia’s President #AleksandarVucic, at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic, later on Monday urged dialogue with the students, saying that “we need to lower the tensions and start talking to each other.”

"Students in the past have refused to meet with #Vucic, saying the president is not entitled by the constitution to hold talks with them.
"'Any kind of a crisis poses a serious problem for our economy,' said Vucic. 'Such a situation in society is not good for anyone.'"
