Marovic spent two years helping his students in their fight for accountability over the canopy collapse. "We don't need a leader in this country. We need millions of small leaders -- and that's what we got in this movement." Serbia's student anti-graft protest movement ended 14 years of right-wing nationalist rule, despite not having any clearly identifiable leaders. Final results from last month's vote showed the Student List 140 won seats in the 250-seat parliament, enough to govern alone. Two years of protests were sparked by the collapse of a concrete canopy at a railway station which killed 16 people in November 2024 in the northern city of Novi Sad.
