The rallies are expected to be the biggest in decades. Near daily student protests began in December following the deaths of 15 people when a roof at a railway station collapsed on November 1 in the northern city of Novi Sad, a disaster opponents blame on corruption under Vucic.

Thousands of students in Serbia on Friday continued to march towards Belgrade to attend an anti-government rally planned for Saturday in the capital.

Anti-government protesters in the Serbian capital toppled a tractor in the city on Friday night as thousands of people converged on Belgrade on the eve of a major anti-government rally, despite official warnings that violence was planned and populist government fear-mongering aimed at dissuading people from attending.
