Protesters marked 15 minutes of silence to remember each person killed in the railway station collapse. Calling for a general strike, they urged citizens to refrain from going to work, shopping, or making any other financial transactions. More than 200 companies across Serbia announced they had suspended operations on January 24 in solidarity with the students. (ANI)
