Tens of thousands protest in Serbia against the government

TENS of thousands of people in Serbia gathered on Saturday for a huge student-led rally to send a message that “we deserve better.”

University students across the Balkan country, which has been ruled firmly by a right-wing government for more than a decade, have been holding protests since a fatal train station canopy collapse in November killed 15 people. Critics have blamed government corruption.

The almost daily demonstrations regularly draw tens of thousands of people and have rattled President Aleksandar Vucic’s hold on power.
