Serbia’s students are leading mass protests and blockades of three bridges over the Danube river in the northern city of Novi Sad, drawing tens of thousands into the streets to express their anger with the country’s populist leadership and to call for change.

By Tatyana Kekic in Novi Sad Serbia is in the throes of a political crisis, sparked by a deadly infrastructure collapse in Novi Sad late last year, with ongoing student-led protests putting immense pressure on the government.

Serbia's Prime Minister Miloš Vučević has resigned following protests triggered by the deadly collapse of a canopy in November.

Many in Serbia believe that the collapse was essentially caused by government corruption in a large infrastructure project with Chinese state companies.
