00:00Tens of thousands of protesters thronged to a central square in Serbia's capital on Sunday

00:05for a big rally against President Aleksandar Vučić and his government.

00:10The demonstration was part of a wider protest demanding accountability over the November

00:151 collapse of a canopy at a railway station in the country's north that killed 15 people.

00:21Today we are here to defend the positions of our students, that is, all of our positions.

00:27All the people are here. We came to say that there was a lot of silence.

00:32I've been on the streets for decades, so I thought there was no point in giving up,

00:38but somehow we are here to support these young people.

00:42So if you need anything to help them, they are here.

00:46Protesters demanded that those responsible face justice about a deadly incident.

00:50The rally at Belgrade's Slavia Square, one of the largest in recent years,

00:55was called by students and farmer unions.
