Protesters storm public broadcaster HQ in Serbia, face off with riot police
Scuffles broke out between opposition and riot police after protesters forced their way into the offices of a public broadcaster in Belgrade, demanding they be put on the air. Police resorted to force to evict the crowd.
Activists protesting against the government of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stormed the headquarters of the country’s public broadcaster, RTS, on Saturday evening. Tensions were running high early in the day when huge crowds of opposition activists swarmed the streets to march to the RTS offices to call for more press freedom.
Protesters also plastered the walls and doors of the offices with a tape reading “It has begun,” one of the slogans of the ‘1 od 5 miliona’ (one of five million) protests that have been gripping Serbia since November last year, following an attack on opposition politician Borko Stefanovic and several other attacks on outspoken government critics.
Is there any freedom there? Is President Vucic another “western papetier” working to sell everything ?
Only people in Serbia might know that…
