Dozens are injured in Belgrade, Serbia, as escalating tensions erupted today between government supporters and anti-government protesters. Violent clashes broke out for a second day, fueled by ongoing disputes over recent election results and President Aleksandar Vučić's leadership.
Reports indicate at least 50 people have sustained injuries, with some requiring hospitalization. Serbian police have struggled to contain the unrest, with some reports alleging excessive force and allowing masked individuals to attack citizens, according to Civil Rights Defenders.
The protests began initially as peaceful demonstrations, but quickly turned volatile as pro-government groups confronted protesters. Vučić's administration has maintained its position, clinging to power despite widespread calls for reform and accountability. The situation remains tense, with potential for further escalation.
