Protests continue in Serbia / Thousands of people gather in 30 cities for

Thousands of people vowed on Sunday to continue fighting for justice and the rule of law in Serbia, while demanding that President Aleksandar Vucic call early parliamentary elections after months of ongoing demonstrations that have challenged his firm grip on power in the Balkan country.

Protesters led by university students blocked bridges in the capital Belgrade and rallied in 30 other Serbian cities and towns, marking exactly seven months since a concrete canopy collapsed at a train station in the north, killing 16 people and sparking a massive wave of anti-corruption protests.

"All of Serbia has risen to its feet. There will be no more silence, no more surrender!" said the students.

Many people in Serbia believe that the deadly collapse of the station canopy on November 1 in Novi Sad was the result of faulty renovation work on the station building, and they link the disaster to alleged government corruption in major infrastructure projects with Chinese state-owned companies.

Today's protests included memorial ceremonies for the victims of the Novi Sad accident and student marches and blockades. In Belgrade, crowds blocked traffic on two major bridges over the Sava River for three hours, while protesters in Novi Sad carried a white wreath for the victims of the tent collapse as they walked towards the accident site./CNA
