SERBIA: Students camped out overnight and into today in the northern city of Novi Sad as part of a growing anti-corruption movement.

Dozens of farmers parked their tractors by the Freedom Bridge, saying they wanted to guard the students from potential attacks by sympathisers of President Aleksandar Vucic, while local residents brought the protesters tea, coffee and food.

The movement was triggered by the November 1 collapse of a concrete canopy at the city's central railway station, which killed 15 people and has been blamed on corruption affecting the building’s reconstruction.
