Various of protest STORYLINE: Thousands of people rallied on Saturday in Serbia as university students announced a new stage in their protests against President Aleksandar Vucic's government after leading more than a year of mass demonstrations that shook his autocratic rule in the Balkan country.   Protesters in Novi Sad accused the government of rampant corruption that they believe led to a November 1, 2024 train station disaster in the northern city, which killed 16 people and triggered a nationwide anti-government movement.   “(We’re here) to show the people and to explain to them what we’ve done and what our goal is to be done in the future. To show them that we haven’t disappeared, that we’re still here and we’re still in the struggle,” said student, Uros Lukovski. “We, as citizens of Novi Sad, feel a sadness deep within our being, because of what happened on November 1, 2024," added local resident, Stanko Budincevic. "These young people want to enact change and we support them,” Budincevic added. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
