Abstract: Students at all the major universities in Serbia have been staging blockades and protests for the past three months in what is regarded as the largest student uprising in Serbia’s recent history. The protests were sparked by but far transcend the collapse of the recently renovated canopy of the Novi Sad train station, which claimed the lives of 15 people. Ivana Dinić spoke to Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Belgrade Dubravka Stojanović about the causes of this unprecedented manifestation of civic activism and about the impact the protests could have on Serbia’s democratisation process. Professor Stojanović was active in the antiwar movement in the 1990s and has remained at the forefront of the democratic struggle in Serbia ever since.
