Spending the night in tents and sleeping bags in cold weather, Serbian students on Sunday led an overnight Danube bridge blockade in the northern city of Novi Sad as part of their growing anti-graft movement demanding major changes in the Balkan country.
Dozens of farmers parked their tractors by the Most Slobode, or Freedom Bridge, saying they want to guard the students from incidents and potential attacks by sympathizers of Serbia's powerful President Aleksandar Vucic. Novi Sad residents brought them tea and coffee, pancakes, pastry and cooked food.
