Mother's Quest for Justice: A Hunger Strike for Accountability

Hrka, a divorced mother of two and fast-food cook, has been living on a diet of water and occasional cups of tea since she began her hunger strike on November 2, 2025. Her determination to bring attention to the tragedy and hold those responsible accountable has drawn widespread support from the Serbian public and international community. "I will not stop until justice is served," Hrka said in an interview with a local news outlet. "My son and 15 others lost their lives because of the government's negligence and corruption. I will not rest until those responsible are held accountable." The train station disaster has sparked a national debate about government accountability and corruption in Serbia. The incident has also raised questions about the safety of public infrastructure and the role of government agencies in ensuring public safety. "This is a wake-up call for the government to take responsibility for the safety of its citizens," said Zoran Djordjevic, a prominent Serbian opposition leader. "The government's negligence and corruption have led to the deaths of innocent people, and it's time for them to be held accountable." The background of the train station disaster is complex and involves allegations of corruption and negligence on the part of government agencies and contractors involved in the renovation project. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, but many believe that the government's slow response and lack of transparency have contributed to the public's growing frustration. The hunger strike has also drawn attention to the role of social media in mobilizing public opinion and organizing protests. Hrka's decision to go on a hunger strike was sparked by a social media campaign that used the hashtag JusticeForStefan to raise awareness about the tragedy and demand accountability from the government. The campaign has gained widespread support, with many using social media to express their solidarity with Hrka and demand justice for the victims of the train station disaster. As Hrka continues her hunger strike, her health is a growing concern. However, she remains resolute in her determination to bring attention to the tragedy and hold those responsible accountable. "I will not stop until justice is served," she said. "My son and 15 others lost their lives because of the government's negligence and corruption. I will not rest until those responsible are held accountable." The outcome of Hrka's hunger strike and the ongoing investigation into the train station disaster remain uncertain, but one thing is clear: the public's demand for accountability and transparency in government has never been more urgent.
