Students in Serbia have announced plans for a large-scale, new demonstration scheduled for May, according to communications posted on their X profile under the banner “Students Win!”. The group has indicated intentions to organize a protest mirroring the mass anti-government demonstrations held over the preceding year and a half. The initial impetus for these demonstrations stemmed from a tragic incident on November 1, 2024, when a concrete canopy collapsed at a recently renovated railway station in Novi Sad, resulting in 16 fatalities and multiple injuries.
In the aftermath, the students began blocking universities and suspending classes in solidarity with the victims. The group has referenced the dates of previous significant actions, citing December 22, 2024, at Slavija Square in Belgrade, alongside March 15 and June 28, 2025, also in Belgrade, suggesting that this pattern of activism would continue. Furthermore, on May 5, 2025, the students formally called for early parliamentary elections in Serbia.
While no specific date has been confirmed, the expectation remains that a new protest will take place during the month of May. These announcements suggest an ongoing period of political mobilization by the student body. The communications emphasize a sustained commitment to public demonstrations, building upon the momentum generated by the initial tragedy and subsequent political demands.
