A week after a student movement toppled Serbia's strongman Aleksandar Vucic in an election, thousands of students and their supporters on Sunday marked two years since a deadly train station disaster that gave birth to their anti-corruption campaign.

The demand for accountability over the Nov. 1, 2024 collapse of a concrete canopy at the station in the northern city of Novi Sad that killed 16 people launched two years of student-led protests that eventually brought about the stunning defeat of Vucic's right-wing government at last week's parliamentary elections.

In steady rain and silence, thousands marched in Novi Sad on Sunday in a gesture of respect for the victims.
