In a poignant display of remembrance and protest, thousands of people in Serbia are marching from Belgrade to join a rally in the country’s north to mark the first anniversary of a deadly train station roof collapse. The Novi Sad train station tragedy, which claimed several lives and left many injured, has become a symbol of the ongoing political crisis in the country.
The youth-led march, which started in Belgrade and is set to culminate in Novi Sad, aims to honor the victims of the collapse and demand accountability from the authorities. The collapse of the train station roof last year was a stark reminder of the challenges facing Serbia and the lack of progress in infrastructure and safety measures.
According to Al Jazeera, tens of thousands of people observed a moment of silence to commemorate the tragic event, highlighting the somber mood that has enveloped the nation. The collapse of the train station roof not only resulted in loss of life but also exposed the underlying issues of negligence and inadequate infrastructure in the country.
BBC reported that the Novi Sad train station was once seen as a symbol of the new Serbia, but the tragic incident shattered that perception and laid bare the harsh realities facing the nation. The anger and frustration among the Serbian population have been brewing for months, with many calling for accountability and justice for the victims.
As Serbia grapples with the aftermath of the train station collapse, the political crisis in the country has deepened. The anniversary of the tragedy has reignited calls for reform and transparency in the government, with many demanding swift action to prevent similar incidents in the future.
In a show of solidarity, major demonstrations are planned to mark the one-year anniversary of the disaster, as reported by Euronews. The protests are expected to draw attention to the need for improved safety standards and infrastructure in Serbia, as well as the importance of holding those responsible for the collapse accountable.
The tragic train station collapse has not only left a scar on the Serbian nation but has also galvanized a movement for change and justice. As the country grapples with the aftermath of the disaster, the calls for accountability and reform are growing louder, signaling a pivotal moment in Serbia’s history.
