Clashes erupt at Serbian anti-government protests, with dozens injured

BELGRADE: Clashes erupted at protests in Serbia between opponents and supporters of the government in an escalation of tensions following more than nine months of persistent demonstrations against populist President Aleksandar Vucic. Incidents first started on Tuesday evening in Vrbas, northwest of the capital Belgrade, where riot police separated protesters from the opposed camps outside the ruling Serbian Progressive Party offices in the town. Video footages from the scene showed government supporters throwing flares, rocks and bottles at the protesters, who hurled back various objects.
