00:00Hundreds of Serbian university students started an 80-kilometer march on Thursday as part
00:07of expanding anti-government protests.
00:11They will march from Belgrade to the northern city of Novi Sad, where in November 15 pupils
00:16were killed after a concrete canopy collapsed on them at a railway station.
00:22On Saturday, a 24-hour blockade of bridges is planned in the city.
00:28So this is just another way of showing how radical we are and how we are not stopping
00:32this and we are going to pursue this until the end.
00:38The students are demanding accountability for the incident and believe government corruption
00:42during the construction phase of the train station caused the building to collapse.
00:49The demonstrations are the biggest Serbia has seen in years and for the first time are
00:53appearing to seriously challenge the Balkan country's powerful populist leader Aleksandar
00:58Vucic.
01:01The weeks-long protests already forced the resignation of Serbia's prime minister this
01:05week.
