For over three months now, students and citizens across Serbia have been fighting for justice after the collapse of the canopy at the entrance to Novi Sad railway station claimed 15 lives in November.

Students have blockaded almost all state-owned universities in the country. In support of the university students' calls for accountability, many high school students — primarily in Novi Sad and Belgrade— have also closed down their schools. Numerous teachers have joined the movement by going on strike. 

In response, the government in February withheld the salaries of those teachers who stopped work. Officials have said teachers will receive their pay once they make up for missed classes.

The teachers, however, have remained defiant. Protesters have vowed to keep up the pressure until there is meaningful change. 

On Saturday, students are planning the largest protest yet in Belgrade. Organizers expect tens of thousands to gather across the city. Many hope this will mark a turning point. 

The government has warned of potential violence, but students point to the fact that they have been demonstrating peacefully for months and that for them, nonviolent protest is the only way forward.
