Thousands march through Belgrade in anti-government protest, demand early election I Serbia

Thousands of anti-government protesters filled the the streets of Belgrade on Friday (May 30), blowing whistles, holding banners and demanding early election.

The protest was organised and led by students who are demanding that those responsible for the roof collapse at a train station in Novi Sad in November that killed more than a dozen people be brought to justice.

Daily rallies that began in November following a roof collapse at a train station in Novi Sad spread across Serbia and became the biggest challenge for the rule of President Aleksandar Vucic in years, with protesters denouncing widespread corruption and incompetence which they say led to the disaster.

In January Vucic floated the possibility of a snap election after his prime minister resigned amid growing anti-government protests.

Prime Minister Milos Vucevic became the highest-ranking official to step down in the wake of a roof collapse.

In April, Serbia's parliament approved politically inexperienced medical professor Djuro Macut as prime minister of the Balkan country.
