Serbia party offices set fire to the fifth night of the demonstrations

New clashes have broken out between anti-government demonstrators and riot police through Serbia in the fifth night of consecutive disorders, after the offices of the Progressive Serbian Party (SNS) in power were burned.

Valjevo police would have used stunning grenades and tear gas on demonstrators after a small group of masked people attacked empty SNS installations, fireing them.

There were generalized allegations of violence and police brutality in the capital, Belgrade and Novi Sad. The Ministry of the Interior of Serbia denied these allegations.

This occurs when Russia has committed to consolidate the President Pro-Moscow besieged Aleksandar Vučić, who directs the SNS, saying that he would not be in response “.

The demonstrations were initially triggered by a collapse of the station in Novi Sad in November of last year, the Serbs demanding an early election and the end of the 12 -year reign of President Aleksander Vučić.

While anti-corruption demonstrations have established hundreds of thousands of demonstrators, they had been largely peaceful until Wednesday’s confrontation, when pro-governmental loyalists organized counter-demonstrations.

On Saturday evening, anti-riot police were again deployed in a number of cities, including Belgrade, people participated in demonstrations to demand early elections.

The offices and flags representing the SNS of Vučić Party had been at the center of the wrath of the demonstrators.

The demonstrators also broke the windows of the siege of the Serbian radical party, a coalition partner of the SNS in power.

During last week, injuries were reported during demonstrations across the country and an unconcetic video circulated on the social networks of the police beating a man in Valjevo.

Michael O’Flaherty, the human rights commissioner of the Council of the Council of the Council, showed concern on Friday concerning the “disproportionate force of the police” in Serbia, urging the authorities to “put an end to the arbitrary arrests and defuse the situation”.

Vučić responded to Saturday developments on Instagram, writing that “violence is an expression of total weakness” and promising to “punish intimidators”.

He has repeatedly rejected calls to early elections and denounced demonstrations as part of a foreign plot to overthrow it.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs offered his support to the Professor Pro-Moscow President.

In a statement, the ministry said that “we cannot have responded to what’s going on in fraternal Serbia”.

The press release indicates that the police “used lawful methods and means to contain violent crowds” and that “public order, security and human life” were in danger.

The demonstrations have seized Serbia almost daily since November, after the collapse of the roof of the Novi Tad station which killed 16 people.

Tragedy has become a symbol of corruption rooted in the Balkan country, with initial calls to transparent probes that turn into requirements for the first elections.

At their peak, the demonstrations attracted hundreds of thousands to the streets.
