Hundreds of students have marched through the Serbian countryside, taking their anti-graft protest to the northern city of Novi Sad, where they plan to blockade three bridges over the River Danube this weekend

NOVI SAD, Serbia (AP) — Hundreds of students protesting graft they blame for 15 deaths in a building collapse marched Friday through Serbia to the northern city of Novi Sad where they plan to block three Danube River bridges this weekend.

They received a hero's welcome from fellow students and thousands of local residents in Novi Said after arriving on foot in their two-day, 80-kilometer (50-mile) journey from the Serbian capital of Belgrade.

A small red carpet had been placed on one of the bridges across the Danube that the students crossed as they entered the city.

The bridge blockade planned for Saturday will mark three months since a huge concrete construction at the railway station collapsed in Novi Sad on Nov. 1, leaving 15 people dead.
