The demonstration began in the Serbian capital early in the morning. The protest action of students involves the blocking of key points in Belgrade. According to the organizers' plan, the culmination of the action will begin at 17:00 local time (19:00 Moscow time) on the square in front of the Serbian Parliament. Amid the protests in Belgrade, public transport was suspended until the end of the day. Later, a convoy of 100 tractors joined the protesters.

The reason for the start of anti-government protests by students and the opposition since November 2024 was the death of 15 people as a result of the collapse of the canopy of the railway station in Novi Sad. After the tragedy, Serbian Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic resigned.
