The anti-government protests have engulfed the nation since December of last
year, triggered by an assault on the leader of the opposition Serbian Left
and his two associates. Last Saturday, protesters dismantled construction
fences in the city centre and encircled the city assembly with them.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Serbian capital
Belgrade to pressure President Aleksandar Vucic to step down. The
demonstration has gathered political parties, opposition movements, NGOs,
and public figures from across the country.

The president previously chastised the protest leaders saying that the
opposition is resorting to desperate measures due to falling ratings.

Demonstrators are demanding that those responsible for the assassination of
Serbian politician Oliver Ivanovic in January 2018 in Kosovo be found, the
dismissal of Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic, and a change in
leadership of the national broadcaster RTS. In addition, protesters are
calling for the resignation of the president and the government. The
demonstrators had earlier urged the Serbian authorities to fulfil their
demands before 13 April.
