Serbian police dismantle anti-govt protesters’ barricades ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

Thousands of people blocked major roads in Belgrade and other Serbian cities late on Sunday to protest at police handling of a mass anti-government demonstration on Saturday.

The disaster in Novi Sad in November, which followed extensive renovation work at the station, was widely blamed on poor construction and entrenched corruption.

Clashes ensued, with riot police using tear gas and batons to disperse a crowd throwing bottles and flares.

They insisted officers had “acted professionally”.

Students who are blockading Belgrade universities shared videos on social media apparently showing arrests at some of the barricades.

AFP journalists on the ground confirmed the barricades had been dismantled.

The public uproar over the Novi Sad disaster triggered the resignation of the prime minister and the collapse of the government.

He has accused “foreign powers” of orchestrating the protests.

With little action from authorities, their focus shifted last month to calling for early parliamentary elections.

The next parliamentary elections are not expected before 2027.
