In Serbia, students and workers across all sectors have launched a general strike today, the culmination of three months of mass, student-led demonstrations. The protest movement started in response to the collapse of a roof at a train station in November in the northern city of Novi Sad, which killed 15 people. Serbs have since taken to the streets to call out government corruption and inefficiency. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has accused the protesters of being foreign agents, while some students have said they’ve been doxxed and harassed by authorities. This is student activist Luka Stojakovic speaking from a protest in Belgrade last week.

Luka Stojakovic: “The problem of our society is that corruption has entered every pore of society and that it is the cause of everything that is happening, from the fall of the canopy and the death of 15 people to everything that happened to us before that.”
