Tensions rise ahead of student-led protest in Belgrade

Belgrade is preparing today for another student-led protest to pressure Serbian President Aleksandar Vu?i? to call early parliamentary elections after nearly eight months of rallies that have gripped the Balkan country.

Tensions have risen sharply ahead of the protest organized by Serbia's university students, a key force behind nationwide anti-corruption demonstrations that began after a renovated railway station canopy collapsed, killing 16 people on November 1.

Many blamed the collapse of the concrete roof on widespread government corruption and negligence in state infrastructure projects, leading to repeated mass protests.

Vucic and his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party have rejected the request for an early vote and accused the protesters of planning to incite violence on orders from abroad, which they did not specify.

"People should not worry, the state will be protected and the bandits will be brought to justice," Vucic told reporters on Saturday. /CNA
