Švedska NVO Civil Rights Defenders (Branioci Građanskih Prava, ništa manje) se pita da li bi protesti u Srbiji mogli da podstaknu i izvesne globalne promene? U kom pravcu bi te promene išle: u onom koje Civil Rights Defenders predviđaju ili možda u nekom drugom?
Da li je cilj ipak preambiciozan?
For over three months, students in Serbia have been protesting for justice, freedom, and democracy. What began as a silent demonstration has grown into the largest student movement in the modern history of the Balkans—and it continues to expand. If they succeed, could this spark a global wave of change?

“The student protests show the power Generation Z has to drive social change. They are not just about local issues—they are demanding democracy, justice, and accountability in a country where these values have been systematically eroded,“ says Ivana Randjelovic, Director Europe Department at Civil Rights Defenders.
On November 1, 2024, the concrete canopy of a train station in Novi Sad collapsed, killing 15 people and seriously wounding several others. This tragedy sparked nationwide protests against corruption and for greater transparency and accountability from the duty holders. The protests continue despite the authorities resorting to previously effective tactics such as provoking violence, intimidation, media manipulation, smear campaigns, organising counter-protests, and escalating political tensions.
Several officials have already resigned but no one has been legally responsible for the deaths of 15 people. Prime minister, Miloš Vučević, did announce in front of cameras that he is stepping down but as of now, he is still formally the prime minister.
“In a country where many public officials have questionable educational credentials and a significant number of unqualified individuals hold key decision-making positions, they are reminding us of the vital importance of education. For them, ‘respect for the rule of law’ is not just a phrase—it’s a demand for real change and accountability. They underline the need for institutions to fulfill their roles and exercise their legal authority, which stands in stark contrast to the current reality where institutions are effectively captured, and all power is concentrated in the hands of the President of Serbia,” says Ivana Randjelovic.

A fight for justice, accountability—and education
The protesters fight for accountability, rule of law, justice – and for education. One of the demands is an increase of the budget allocated to higher education.“In a country where many public officials have questionable educational credentials and a significant number of unqualified individuals hold key decision-making positions, they are reminding us of the vital importance of education. For them, ‘respect for the rule of law’ is not just a phrase—it’s a demand for real change and accountability.

Supported by Doctors, Pensioners – and Motorcycle Clubs
The demonstrations have united different social groups in an unprecedented way. Students, farmers, lawyers, pensioners, and doctors are standing side by side in their demand for change. And they refuse to give up. Farmers block the roads with tractors to shield demonstrators. Taxi drivers give free rides after marches. Veterans show up in solidarity.…
