A new large demonstration by
students who have been contesting the government and the
president for three months, accusing them of corruption and
media control, began this morning in Kragujevac, a central
Serbian industrial city. The protest is being held on Serbian
National Day, alongside a similar large rally called by
President Aleksandar Vucic for the afternoon in Sremska
Mitrovica, 80 kilometres west of Belgrade.
This pro-government demonstration is expected to adopt a
solemn declaration reaffirming Serbia's unity and territorial
integrity, as well as condemning any attempt to favour the
secession of Vojvodina, the country's richest and most developed
northern region.
