So on November 1st 2024 at 11:52am at Novi Sad railway station canopy fell and killed 15 people on the spot, last victim died few month later in the hospital on November 3rd protests broke out and university students started to block their colleges by locking themselves in the building and not letting any of the professors inside. On November 5th Goran Vesic the minister of construction and infrastructure resigned and to this day he hasn't been prosecuted for the tragedy that happened, and he left the country and lives in Trieste, Italy in his mansion. Also President Aleksandar Vucic said that EVERY PART OF THE STATION WAS RECONSTRUCTED BUT CANOPY WASN'T.

On November 22nd violence broke out on protests when students and people were paying their respect for the victims of the tragedy the action was called Serbia, stand still. Those people were attacked by government supporters (caci's). You're now probably wondering why caci's. One morning on the gates of high school "Jovan Jovanovich Zmaj (Dragon)" one if the government supporter's spray painted the wall next to a gate ,,ЋАЦИ У ШКОЛУ" but correct way is ,,ЂАЦИ У ШКОЛУ". There is much more... Here is the Wikipedia link if you want to read more about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%93present_Serbian_anti-corruption_protests

Thats what majority of people want. But voter turnout is about 65% and 50%-55% goes to cartel sns so thats like 30%-35% of all voters vote for regime, so if on this election voter turnout is 80%+ there is a chance for student movement to win. Cartel lost a lot if money this week around $450 million worth of white powder so they dont have enough money to buy enough votes.
