Female students Saturday marked International Women's Day in Serbia by leading the daily street protests against corruption and sending a message decrying widespread violence against women in the Balkan country.

Thousands of people protested against Serbia's government on March 8, with workers from various sectors joining students. The protesters marched through the capital, Belgrade, before gathering in central Republic Square in a show of dissatisfaction with the government.

Tens of thousands in Belgrade marched to honor 15 victims of a train station disaster and support a student-led strike against President Aleksandar Vucic's government. This follows nationwide student protests sparked by the collapse in Novi Sad.

A new protest action called “General Strike” is taking place across Serbia on 7 March, following a call from students who have been blocking university faculties and demanding accountability for the deaths of 15 people in the collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad.

Tens of thousands of people marched through Belgrade on Friday to mark the deaths of 15 victims in a railway station disaster and to support a student-led call for a general strike aimed at challenging Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's hold on power.

Massive marches have been part of a nationwide anti-graft movement that started after a concrete canopy crashed in November at a railway station in Novi Sad. The near-daily protests regularly draw tens of thousands of people and have rattled President Aleksandar Vučić’s grip on power — including control of the state RTS television as well as numerous pro-government outlets.

This happened while you were sleeping. Here's what global agencies recorded overnight from Friday to Saturday. Tens of thousands of people responded to the students' call for a general strike and protest marches organised on Friday in several Serbian cities.
