Large-scale commemorative events have begun in Novi Sad, Serbia, on the anniversary of the tragedy that caused the collapse of the railway station. This was announced on November 1 by journalist Sergey Petrov.

"Today in Novi Sad, on the anniversary of the tragedy at the railway station, the whole day is marked with memorial events, and at 10:30 (08:30 Moscow time. — Ed.) the march began from the building of the Faculty of Philosophy, which in the previous years often became a place of confrontation with the police," he said.

According to Petrov, the students, accompanied by military veterans, began moving towards the railway station. The journalist added that flowers should be laid there.

It is noted that there are approximately 16 collection points in total. According to Petrov, the march will last until the evening and will end with film screenings and memorable speeches.

The anti-government protests, which are attended by the Serbian opposition, began after 15 people died in November 2024 as a result of the collapse of a canopy at the railway station in Novi Sad. The protesters blocked bridges and roads.

In July 2025, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic called on those who took to the streets not to block the city, threatening to use counteraction measures, but since August 2025, street riots have become especially widespread and violent.

A memorial protest rally was held in Belgrade on September 1. Against the background of the latest protests, several central streets were blocked, the city was "stuck in traffic jams," and participants in anti-government rallies threw stones and bottles at police officers in front of the university's Faculty of Philosophy building. The march was organized jointly with students and students of secondary educational institutions. The protest action was of a memorial nature, as that day marked 10 months since the tragedy in Novi Sad.

Later, on October 31, Srbiyavoz, a company representing Serbian railways, announced that all railway services had been stopped in the country due to a threat of a terrorist attack. It was clarified that the terrorist attack was reported on the eve of the anniversary of the tragedy in Novi Sad.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
