Summary/Abstract: On March 15, 2025, Serbia witnessed its largest protest in history, initiated by students demanding justice, institutional accountability, and effective action against state corruption, triggered by a tragic train station accident. The student movement quickly gained mass support and revealed a deep political, social, and moral crisis in the country, as the government responded with repression, media propaganda, and attempts to incite violence. Despite escalating threats and disinformation from President Vučić, students have remained peaceful and firm, earning widespread public trust and emerging as a powerful force for societal change.
