Students launch 24-hour traffic blockade in Serbia’s capital ahead of weekend election protest

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — A group of university students on Friday launched a 24-hour blockade of a main street in Serbia’s capital during New Year’s holiday rush as protests continued in the troubled Balkan country after reports of irregularities that marred a recent election.

The students set up small tents, tables and chairs, brought food and blankets and played loud music at their makeshift camp near the government headquarters in Belgrade, saying they will stay put until the start of another opposition gathering planned for Saturday.

The student actions triggered a huge traffic gridlock in the capital on Friday.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The students set up small tents, tables and chairs, brought food and blankets and played loud music at their makeshift camp near the government headquarters in Belgrade, saying they will stay put until the start of another opposition gathering planned for Saturday.

Vucic’s ruling Serbian Progressive Party have been declared the winner of the parliamentary and local elections, but the main opposition alliance, Serbia Against Violence, has alleged that fraud took place, particularly in Belgrade.

Tensions soared on Sunday evening, when protesters tried to enter Belgrade city hall, breaking windows, before riot police pushed them back using tear gas, pepper spray and batons.

Serbia is formally seeking membership in the European Union, but the Balkan nation has maintained close ties with Moscow and has refused to join Western sanctions imposed on Russia over the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Russia’s Ambassador Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko has said that the protest on Saturday and other planned opposition actions over the holidays represent “a very dangerous period” for “return of the violence” but added that Serbia’s authorities have full control of the situation.

The Moscow ties came into focus earlier this week when Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic thanked Russia’s security services for allegedly tipping off Serbia that violence was in the works.
