Serbian police arrest dozens in clashes with antigovernment protesters

Tavsif:

Police in Belgrade fired tear gas and arrested dozens as clashes erupted during a massive protest demanding snap elections and the resignation of President Aleksandar Vucic. About 140,000 people joined the student‑led rally, chanting for elections and accusing the government of corruption and repression. The protests began after a deadly train station collapse in December, fueling anger over alleged negligence, as reported by Al‑Jazeera. Vucic, rejecting calls for elections, accused protesters of trying to overthrow the state, while opposition leaders blamed authorities for escalating violence.
