Eight months after the Novi Sad railway station disaster that killed 16 people, student protesters demanded truth and justice from Serbian authorities. They rejected political ideologies, focusing solely on accountability. In the early stages, the protests were characterized by a unity among students displaying only Serbian and university flags to reclaim state symbols. However, as the protests gained momentum, nationalistic symbols began to emerge, leading to concerns that the movement was becoming a platform for Greater Serbian nationalism, particularly during national holidays such as Vidovdan.
The student protesters united under the slogan 'You've got blood on your hands,' demanding accountability for the deaths of 16 people in a tragedy at Novi Sad railway station.
The protest movement initially focused on truth and justice, with flags of Serbia and universities featured to reclaim state symbols from political manipulation.
As the protests expanded, ideological diversity emerged, leading to the rise of nationalist symbols and the participation of veterans from the Yugoslav wars.
Criticism grew regarding the protests evolving into a platform for Greater Serbian nationalism, especially evident during the anti-government protest on Vidovdan.
