By Tatyana Kekic in Belgrade Hundreds of students in Serbia began their two-day march from the capital Belgrade to Novi Sad on January 30, a journey of approximately 80 kilometers, as the country remains gripped by political turmoil following a deadly infrastructure collapse in Novi Sad late last year.
