According to the report, clashes erupted between Serbian anti-government protesters and supporters for a second day on Wednesday in a major escalation after more than nine months of persistent demonstrations against autocratic President Aleksandar Vucic. According to Associated Press, cordons of riot police squared off against protesters in Belgrade and used tear gas to disperse the crowds. At one point, demonstrators threw water bottles at the police after they attempted to make an arrest.
The report also said that Thousands more gathered in other parts of the country, including in the northern city of Novi Sad, near the offices of Vucic’s ruling Serbian Progressive PartyInterior Minister Ivica Dacic said at least one policeman was injured there and called for the “return of law and order.”Serbia’s president, other government officials, and pro-government media have repeatedly described the protesters as “terrorists,” though protests in Serbia since November have been largely peaceful. Led by university students, the protesters are demanding that Vucic call an early parliamentary election, which he has refused to do. Protesting students have also called for the ouster of Dacic, the interior minister, over recent violence at demonstrations.
