Serbian opposition supporters rally in Belgrade against election results

Several hundred university students and other citizens on Monday blocked traffic at a key Belgrade street that hosts Serbian government headquarters as protests continued against reported widespread irregularities during the recent election.

The protesters braved a police warning against the blockades of roads and bridges in the capital.

Serbian police said Monday they had detained at least 38 people after protesters tried to enter Belgrade’s city council, breaking windows before riot police pushed them back on Sunday.

  1. It's an old con game of Western imperialism funded and manipulated by the US to divide and destroy peace and harmony within Serbia. It's also a political distraction to divert World attention from Apartheid Israeli army and government war atrocities committed in Gaza. This con game will fail because Serbians are more well informed about this con game that is backed up by Anglo-Saxon mainstream media and exploitative capitalists.

  2. Another colour revolution sponsored by the usual Western crooks.
    If a pro Western puppet won there would be no election contest.
    Ban all EU/NATO NGOs, aid, charity and this problem will magically disappear.

  3. Embarassing for Serbia. Your party loses an election because majority of the people do not agree with so you throw a violent tantrum under the name of "Serbia Against Violence" destroying what little beautiful historic buildings the country actual has left . This political party stood on the graves of dead children (after a school shooting which has not happened before in the country) to create a movement by touching the emotions of people and have no actual things proposed they will do to make the country better. You can hate Vucic all you want and completely understandable if you want to disagree with him, but at least the current party is building highways, connecting neigbhouring countries, and inviting foreign nations to invest and create businesses. Sad day for Serbia.

  4. "Serbs against violence" is such a transparently EU non-political cover name.
    The "Open Society" playbook is getting old. 😂😂

  5. Vucic, he is Washington's puppet, because for 10 years he has been supported by the west financially and politically, the price of the west's support is that the Serbian president obliged the legalization of secession and the occupation of Kosovo and Metohija, against the wishes of the citizens of Serbia.

  6. the west gave Vucic's task is to deliver "Kosovo", that's why nobody from the West sees corruption, stealing elections, not even Serb support for Russia. To summarize, Serbs love Russia, hate NATO, they don't trust the West, but they love Serbia the most, and Kosovo is part of Serbia, and they are ready to die for it. For 1500 years it has been at war with the most powerful superpowers in history, they are gone and Serbia is still here, NATO will also disappear as well as pro-Western corrupt politicians like Vucic, in Serbia it is easy to lose your head , look at our history
