Students and farmer unions organised the rally against President Aleksandar Vucic at a central square in Serbia's capital Belgrade on Sunday.

His tight grip on power has been challenged by weeks of street protests led by university students and the rally at Belgrade's Slavija Square was one of the largest in recent years. It was part of a wider movement demanding accountability over the Nov. 1 collapse of a canopy at a railway station in the country's north that killed 15 people.

Smaller rallies were also held in the cities of Nis and Kragujevac. The rally in Belgrade started with a 15-minute silence for the victims, and later chants of “You have blood on your hands!” were heard.
