STORYLINE:
Serbia’s students are leading mass protests and blockades of three bridges over the Danube river in the northern city of Novi Sad, drawing tens of thousands into the streets to express their anger with the country’s populist leadership and to call for change.
Saturday marked three months since a huge concrete canopy at Novi Sad’s main railway station collapsed, killing 15 people.
The crash on Nov. 1 sparked a wide anti-corruption movement and months of student-led street protests.
Critics believe graft led to a sloppy job during the station renovation, with poor oversight and disregard for safety regulations.
Tens of thousands of people converged on Novi Sad for the blockades, dubbed “Three Months — Three Bridges.”
One of the blockades is set to extend until Sunday.
