FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India investigated the claim and found it to be false. The visuals show a rally held on March 15, 2025, which was organized to protest the collapse of the concrete canopy of Novi Sad railway station, Serbia on November 1, 2024, an incident in which 15 people were killed.
Several peaceful protests led by university students for the past four months had spread to 400 cities and towns across Serbia till March 2025. There is no proof or credible evidence that the protest took place to declare Serbia a Christian country.
Details
We first conducted a reverse image search from various keyframes of the video to learn about the claim. The search took us to a Facebook post by TRT World on 16th March, 2025 with the caption : “On Saturday, March 15, thousands gathered early in the centre of Belgrade for the “15 for 15” protest, one of Serbia’s largest anti-government rallies in years.” Video can be seen below.
Following this we conducted a web search with the phrase “March 15 protests Belgrade” to get the correct information. According to a report by BBC published on 16 March, 2025, “Hundreds of thousands of people descended on Serbia’s capital on Saturday (15 March, 2025) to protest over the deaths of 15 people in a railway station’s concrete canopy collapse.” The report notes that an independent monitor had estimated that more than 325,000 people were present at the protest. View a section from the report below –
Another report by CNN World has also confirmed this, stating that the “rally was part of a nationwide anti-corruption movement that erupted after a concrete canopy collapsed at a train station in Serbia’s north in November, killing 15 people.” The report further mentioned that “Saturday’s rally was dubbed “15 for 15,” referring to the date of the protest and the number of people killed in the city of Novi Sad on Nov. 1.” View a section from the report below –
We also learned from a report by Peace Humanity that the rally was student-led, demanding government accountability for corruption post-Novi Sad collapse. We did not find any evidence that the protest was a “Christian uprising.” Protests began November 2024, focusing on infrastructure failures and authoritarianism under President Aleksandar Vucic with no religious chants.
Thus, the claim is false.
