STORYLINE:
Students in Bosnia gathered on Monday to demand accountability from the authorities in the deaths of 29 people in last year’s devastating floods and landslides in the country.
More than 1,000 people gathered outside the parliament building in the capital Sarajevo, seeking answers.
Many of the victims last October died in a single village in central Bosnia which was buried in rubble from a nearby quarry that was operating without necessary permissions.
The protest illustrated a ripple effect that student blockades in Serbia are having on others in the troubled region where many feel that state institutions are graft-plagued and abused by the political elites.
Serbian protests started after a Nov. 1 crash of a concrete canopy at a railway station in the country’s north.
The collapse killed 15 people and triggered a nation-wide movement demanding accountability for the accident.
Many in Serbia believe that the cause of the crash was government corruption that led to sloppy work on the station building reconstruction and a disregard for safety requirements.
