Protests Erupt In Belgrade Over Return Of Restrictions Amid Surge In Coronavirus Cases

[rpannier]

Protesters flooded Belgrade’s city center to voice their anger over President Aleksandar Vucic’s announcement of a return to strict limits on gatherings and plans to reimpose a weekend because of a surge in COVID-19 cases.

Scuffles broke out between police and a group of protesters who tried to storm into the parliament building, prompting police to fire tear gas to disperse the crowd.

More than 1,000 people took part in the protest, which came after Vucic said on July 7 that the situation in Belgrade is critical and that hospitals in the city of around 1.3 million are almost full.

Vucic told a press conference on July 7 that gatherings will be limited to five people from the following day, and he said he will request that a government task force declare a nationwide weekend curfew ahead of a reassessment of the situation.
