00:00Tens of thousands of people from Serbia, Bosnia and Kosovo mobilized there for three consecutive days in support of the Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic.
00:09During the first two days of mobilizations in Belgrade, demonstrators supported the president under the slogan
00:15Do not surrender Serbia, organized in response to attempts to destabilize the country and in rejection of foreign interference.
00:23Meanwhile, President Vucic urged the institutions to restore peace and order in the country.
00:28He also asked to legally hold accountable all those involved in acts of vandalism and attacks against citizens during the riots promoted by opposition sectors in the last few months.
00:42For context, the current anti-government protests, which have been going on for at least five months, highlighted the alleged outrage of the Serbian citizenry at corruption.
00:53The main motive of the extremist protests is to pressure the government of Aleksandar Vucic to meet four demands articulated by the students.
01:03The fourth demand is to increase the budget for higher education by 20% and ease the pretext for generating demonstrations.
01:11In this regard, the Serbian government has denounced the protests as a remnant of the so-called color revolution being staged by students who are further supported by the anti-Serbian forces of European and Western countries.
