(15 Dec 2018) Braving snow and cold weather, thousands rallied in Serbia's capital Belgrade to express discontent with the autocratic rule of President Aleksandar Vucic and his government.
The whistle-blowing crowds marched on Saturday through central Belgrade, stopping by the presidency building and urging Vucic to resign.
Thousands also rallied a week ago, protesting after thugs beat up an opposition party leader.
Vucic's opponents have blamed the violence on what they describe as an atmosphere of intimidation and fear imposed by Vucic's populist ruling coalition.
The president is a former extreme nationalist who now claims he wants Serbia to reform and join the European Union.
But critics say Vucic has restricted democratic and media freedoms in the Balkan country.
