Serbia Protests Persist Amid Government Criticism and Clashes

Advertisement

This week's government-critical protests in Serbia continued during Thursday evening. Among other things, premises belonging to the country's ruling party, SNS, in the city of Novi Sad, were vandalized, reports the news agency AFP.

In the capital Belgrad, demonstrations were held outside government buildings.

The past few days have been marked by occasionally violent clashes between opponents and supporters of the government. About 50 people have been arrested and around 30 riot police have been injured.

The protests are based on a roof collapse at a train station last year, where 16 people were killed. The demonstrators see the accident as a result of corruption in the country.
