(16 Feb 2019) Thousands of people took to the streets in Serbia's capital for the 11th week in a row on Saturday, to protest against populist President Aleksandar Vucic and his government.
The protests, which have spread outside of Belgrade, accuse Vucic of stifling free media and democracy in the Balkan country.
He denies the accusations and media under his control have called the protesters Western stooges.
Vucic is a former extreme pro-Russian nationalist who now says he wants Serbia to join the European Union.
The protests started after thugs beat up an opposition politician in November.
