00:00Serbian students protested outside the prosecutor's office in Belgrade, demanding justice for
00:08a train station awning collapse in Novi Sad that killed 15 people, blaming corruption
00:14and sloppy work.
00:15Over 1,000 students left letters at the public prosecutor's office, urging chief prosecutor
00:22Zagorka Dolovac to fight for law and justice without political abuse or corruption.
00:29Dolovac's office later responded with a statement inviting a student delegation to a meeting,
00:36but many in Serbia blamed the collapse on widespread corruption and poor renovation
00:41work.
00:43Prosecutors have arrested 13 people over the Novi Sad tragedy, whose release later fueled
00:49public skepticism about the sincerity of the investigation.
00:53In an apparent attempt to defuse the student strikes, President Aleksandar Vucic has been
00:59advertising what he describes as favorable housing loans for young people to buy their
01:05first apartments.
