Protests are being held across Serbia today, following yesterday’s violence that supporters of the Serbian Progressive Party carried out against students and citizens in Novi Sad, during the commemoration of 200 years of Matica Srpska in that city.
At the protest in New Belgrade, certain citizens lit flares, while a mass of people rushed into Ušće Park.
Police in gear began a charge at the citizens in Ušće Park, in New Belgrade.
They caught up with one young man, knocked him to the ground, beat him, and then detained him.
On this occasion, one of the reporters from the protest, who recorded the moment of the arrest, was also attacked.
