Vucic promises information about station accident and student demands!

In a determined attempt to end the ongoing student protests in Serbia, President Aleksandar Vucic announced that the complete documentation for renovating the station building in Novi SAD will be published. This announcement came during a press conference, only hours after Prime Minister Milos Vucevic had declared that the documentation was with the public prosecutor and could therefore not be published. The tragic accident, in which 15 people died on November 1, caused outrage nationwide and triggered the protests that currently affect around 40 faculties in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis and Kragujevac, such as Oe24.at reported .

In a further speech in Novi Sad, which was accompanied by tumultuous scenes, Vucic made it clear that those who are responsible for the incident were held accountable. He vehemently emphasized that violence could not do anything in modern times and called on his followers to keep calm. "Those who trample on our Serbian tricolore have to expect the law," said Vucic and called for a tough approach to drug dealers to regain control of Novi Sad. These statements were loud in a context in which some of his supporters protested with red color and stones against the government's offices, such as n1info.rs reported .

The protests that were fueled by the tragedy in Novi Sad and the subsequent political tensions attract the support of many professors and students. Vucics promise to increase the funds for the universities should also help to defuse the conflicts. The increasing unrest and anger of the students is seen as a significant factor that could influence the political agendas in Serbia.
