RABAT, Morocco (AP) — The United Kingdom on Sunday became the latest country to back Morocco’s position on the disputed Western Sahara, calling its plan to keep the territory under Moroccan control “the most credible, viable and pragmatic” way to resolve the decades-long conflict.At a joint press conference in Morocco’s capital, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said the United Kingdom was changing its position to support Morocco’s plan to offer the area limited autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty. He and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita lauded the two countries’ ties on security and trade, noting Morocco’s role as co-host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

“The time for a resolution and to move this issue forward is long-overdue, and would strengthen the stability of North Africa,” Lammy said.

He also reiterated support for the United Nations-led process and called on Morocco to “expand on details of what autonomy within the Moroccan State could entail for the region.”“The whole of Serbia has risen,” protesting students said in a speech that was read at all the rallies at the same time. “There will be no more silence, there will be no more surrender!”

Many people in Serbia believe that the deadly Nov. 1 canopy collapse in Novi Sad was the result of flawed renovation work on the station building, and they link the disaster to alleged government corruption in major infrastructure projects with Chinese state companies.Vucic, whom critics have accused of

since coming to power over a decade ago, initially dismissed the possibility of holding early elections but on Friday suggested they could take place, though without saying exactly when.Sunday’s protests included commemoration ceremonies for the victims of the Novi Sad crash and student marches and blockades. In Belgrade, crowds halted traffic at two key bridges over the Sava River for three hours, while protesters in Novi Sad carried a white wreath for the canopy collapse victims as they walked toward the crash site.
