Students in Serbia have announced plans for a significant, large-scale protest scheduled for May, according to posts circulated on the social media platform X by an account titled “Students Win!”. Several posts from students involved in ongoing university blockades indicated intentions to organize a demonstration comparable in scale to the anti-government protests held over the past year and a half. The initial catalyst for the movement was the fatal incident on November 1, 2024, when a concrete canopy collapsed at a newly renovated railway station in Novi Sad, resulting in 16 deaths and multiple injuries.
In subsequent communications, the students referenced dates from previous major demonstrations, specifically citing December 22, 2024, at Slavija Square in Belgrade, alongside March 15 and June 28, 2025, also in Belgrade. They stated that this sequence of actions would continue. The momentum grew on May 5, 2025, when the students publicly called for the immediate scheduling of early parliamentary elections in Serbia.
Subsequent posts confirmed the expectation of a new protest taking place within May; however, a precise date has not yet been specified. The call for this new demonstration underscores sustained student activism following the initial wave of protests. These students have maintained their mobilization efforts, linking their demands to broader political changes and echoing sentiments seen in their early social media messages when they began blocking university campuses.
