Serbian protesters block Belgrade intersection, demanding accountability over deadly canopy collapse.

Serbian university students, joined by farmers, blocked a major intersection in Belgrade for 24 hours, protesting the government's handling of a deadly canopy collapse in November that killed 15 people. Critics blame corruption for the collapse, and protesters demand accountability and increased funding for education. The government, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, has faced significant public pressure, with prosecutors filing charges against 13 people, including a minister and state officials, though the investigation's independence is questioned.
