Belgrade Rallies/Serbia's Student Protesters Demand Early Elections

Serbia's student protesters are demanding early elections after months of anti-corruption demonstrations that have shaken President Aleksandar Vu?i?'s grip on power.

A statement posted on a joint social media account said an early vote is the only way out of a deep political crisis in Serbia, sparked by a train station disaster that killed 16 people on November 1, which was widely blamed on government corruption.

The station building in the northern city of Novi Sad had been renovated twice before its concrete canopy collapsed on people below. Critics said negligence fueled by corruption and a disregard for safety rules caused the massive structure to collapse.

The disaster sparked months of protests demanding justice and the rule of law, which have gained widespread support among Serbian citizens, drawing hundreds of thousands of people.

Early elections would involve dissolving the dominated parliament and calling early elections. The leader of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party and former Prime Minister Milos Vucevic has rejected the idea, saying it would bring disaster to the country./CNA
