Serbia’s opposing camps hold parallel rallies, reflecting deep political crisis

BELGRADE: Anti-government protesters and supporters of President Aleksandar Vucic held parallel rallies throughout Serbia on Saturday, reflecting a deep political crisis in the Balkan country following more than 10 months of protests against the populist government. Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party recently started organizing its own demonstrations to counter persistent student-led protests that have challenged the president’s firm grip on power in Serbia. No major incidents were reported at the rallies held in a number of cities and towns with police separating the two camps.
