The Loudest Silence

Overview

Students in Serbia, who have blocked all universities in the country, did not celebrate New Year's Eve, but instead entered 2025 with a 15-minute silence in memory of the victims of the tragedy at the Novi Sad railway station, when a canopy collapsed on November 1, 2024, killing 15 people. The students have taken the lead in the fight against corruption, which they consider the cause of this tragedy, and are demanding that institutions begin to function and do their job.
