[Austria] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 8 April 2025, at the call of 'Blockade Vienna' (Blokada Bec) initiative, in support of the group 'Serbian Students Riding for Democracy', between 1,00 and 2,000 people, including around 80 Serbian students who cycled from Novi Sad to Strasbourg staged a protest in Wien - Inner City (Wien) against the government of Serbia and President Aleksandar Vucic, waving Serbian flags and protesting against violence, censorship, and corruption. The event was part of a larger anti-corruption protest movement led by students in Serbia and the Serbian diaspora abroad triggered by a deadly canopy collapse at the Novi Sad train station on 1 November 2024.
