Hundreds of people took to the streets and accused authorities, including Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, of negligence and corruption following the accident that killed 14 people at a train station in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia, last week.

The protesters, who chanted slogans such as “thieves” and “Arrest Vucic” and carried banners reading “You have blood on your hands” and “You will pay for this,” broke the windows of a municipality building and threw firecrackers and flares at it, after which police intervened with tear gas.

Serbian prosecutors stated that 48 people have been questioned in connection with the incident and that important evidence has been obtained for the investigation.

Iran Warns Europe Over Nuclear Dispute

On Jun 6, 2025

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
