Some students and citizens across Serbia once again paid tribute to those killed in the collapse of the canopy of the reconstructed Novi Sad Railway Station in November last year.
The "Stop Serbia" campaign was held at several locations in Belgrade.
For 15 minutes, gathered near the Faculty of Law, they silently blocked the intersection of Resavska Street and Bulevar kralja Aleksandra.
As reported by an RFE/RL reporter, the action took place without incident.
A professor at the Faculty of Law who participated in the tribute, Dragica Vujadinović, told RFE/RL that "this social rebellion must not stop, because it has grown into a game of patience between the instigators of the rebellion and the authorities."
"This must spread, because too many people, society, civil society, young people, have awakened. From that imprisoned society, we have an awakened society."
As she said, she will be in Kragujevac on February 15th, on Statehood Day, where a large rally is planned, organized by students who have been blocking over 60 faculties in all four university centers in Serbia for more than three months.
"The students are fed up. This hate speech and intolerance has absolutely polluted the public space and it is now having its consequences. Something had to spill over into the classroom and it did," Professor Vujadinović told RFE/RL.
In addition, in Belgrade, at the call of the "Most ostaje" initiative, traffic was blocked on Takovska Street in front of the Radio and Television of Serbia building, and those gathered carried banners reading "Students will change the world", "For justice, not for money", "Our RTS Jaaoo...", and again called for objective information from the public service.
Roads were also blocked for 15 minutes at several locations in Niš and Novi Sad, where some employees of Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) paid tribute to the victims.
Every Friday, they join the "Stop, Serbia" campaign and unfurl a black flag in front of the building.
High school students' gathering in the center of Belgrade
Three columns of high school students from various parts of Belgrade arrived at Republic Square on February 14th and gathered in support of the students' demands following the deaths of 15 people and the serious injury of two in Novi Sad on November 1st, reports the Beta agency.
Blowing whistles and trumpets on Republic Square, they chanted "We want justice!" and "We want the truth!", a Beta agency reporter reported.
An RFE/RL reporter reported that some high school students were carrying banners with the messages "Count on us," "Corruption is booming, justice is knocking," and "Our time is coming."
This protest was previously announced under the title "Spread love, spread justice!", and according to media reports, high school students invited citizens and educators to the rally.
Public class in Subotica
Also, in Subotica, in northern Serbia, a memorial service was held for those killed in the canopy collapse in Novi Sad, after which the crowd walked to the City Hall where professors held a public class.
As reported by an RFE/RL reporter, one of the teachers at the "Ivan Milutinović" Elementary School, Vedrana Cvijin, called on all the teachers and professors who had not stopped to stop.
"Stop classes at school, get rid of fear, nothing will happen to you," she said.
On the other hand, Žužana Tot, a student at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Hungarian in Subotica, which is not under blockade, said that she comes to student protests in this city alone.
She believes that many of her colleagues are simply not allowed to come to protests because they are afraid of the consequences.
Students who had set off on foot from Belgrade, Novi Sad and other cities towards Kragujevac in the previous days paid tribute to the victims with a 15-minute silence in Knić and the village of Čumić.
For the past two months, protests across Serbia have been led by students who have blockaded more than 60 universities in the country, demanding, above all, that the authorities be held criminally and politically responsible for the accident. A number of high schools have also joined them in the blockade.
The demands of the students in the blockade were supported by individual professors, educators, lawyers, farmers, actors, and other citizens.
The government, led by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, claims that the students' demands have been met.
The students in the blockade said that Vučić is not responsible for fulfilling their demands, that they have not been met, and that they are continuing their protests.
