Thousands of students protest in Serbia against violation of civil rights, spy agency crackdown
Associated PressBELGRADE, Serbia — Serbia’s striking university students protested outside the Balkan country’s top court on Sunday to draw their attention to what they say have been violations of their civil rights under the populist authorities, including pressure from the secret service. Vucic formally says he wants to steer Serbia toward European Union membership but he has faced accusations of curbing democratic freedoms rather than advancing them Classes at Serbia’s universities have been suspended for weeks with the students demanding accountability for the canopy collapse at the railway station building in Novi Sad on Nov. 1. Luka Stojakovic, who was targeted by the pro-government media along with his twin brother, told N1 television that “we have learned that BIA can knock on our doors, conduct repression against our parents and invited us for a ‘friendly’ chat.” “They published our data and no one was held responsible,” said Stojakovic. Serbia’s prosecutors have filed charges against 13 people over the train station canopy collapse, including a government minister and several state officials.
