Following the fatal canopy collapse at the Novi Sad railway station on November 1, 2024, which resulted in 16 deaths, Serbia has experienced ongoing demonstrations and commemorative gatherings. In early 2025, protests in Novi Sad were marked by the extensive use of Serbian patriotic symbols, such as the national tricolor flag and the šajkača cap, with some participants describing the atmosphere as “carnival-like.” By late August 2026, marking 22 months since the tragedy, thousands of citizens and students held marches in cities including Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, and Prokuplje. These protesters held 16 minutes of silence to honor the victims and expressed continued frustration regarding legal accountability. While indictments have been filed against several individuals, including Goran Vesić and Jelena Tanasković, demonstrators continue to demand transparency and institutional changes. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: Novi Sad protests feature heavy use of Serbian patriotic symbols Protesters in Novi Sad and Belgrade utilized widespread Serbian patriotic symbols, including flags and traditional attire, during demonstrations marking three months since the railway station canopy collapse. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/novi-sad-protests-feature-heavy-use-of-serbian-patriotic-symbols ### 2026-08-31: Serbia protests mark 22 months since Novi Sad railway tragedy Thousands in Serbia held protests and marches in Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Niš to mark 22 months since the railway station canopy collapse that killed 16 people, demanding legal accountability. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/serbia-protests-mark-22-months-since-novi-sad-station-tragedy --- Cite as: Serbia protests over Novi Sad railway tragedy.
