Protesters flood Belgrade streets, clash with police – Sputnik correspondent

Serbian police used force against protesters in central Belgrade after students blocked access to teachers and citizens demanding a decision on early elections by 9 p.m. Several demonstrators were detained near Pioneer Park.

According to a Sputnik correspondent, protesters, including students and opposition supporters, threw firecrackers and various objects at police near the presidential administration.

On Friday, five people were placed in pretrial detention over an alleged coup plot; one is reportedly a deputy chair of the opposition party “New Face of Serbia.” Weapons were found during arrests.
