Protesters in Belgrade broke through to the presidential palace
The participants of the protest action, gathered in the palace of the President of Serbia, broke through the fence and approached the entrance to the residence, reports RIA News.
On Sunday, more than a thousand protesters gathered in Belgrade in front of the palace of the President of Serbia, where a press conference of the head of state Alexander Vucic took place. The meeting began at 12: 00 local time. There were fences around the building, police patrols.
After the start of the press conference, several hundred activists knocked over one of the barriers and broke through to the entrance to the residence, where they were stopped by special forces of the gendarmerie.
Militiamen will be able to provide security in the building, and the authorities will not allow violence to threaten anyone, Vučić told reporters.
- Said the president to the press.
- he added.
Recall, on Saturday, the participants of the “peaceful march” against Vucic’s policy threw eggs and temporarily blocked the building of Serbian state television. A group of activists led by opposition leader Boshko Obradovic broke into the corridor of the television station and stuck it with leaflets. Later they were joined by the former mayor of Belgrade Dragan Djilas. Together they demanded to give them airtime for performance, but were refused. After some time, the police succeeded in avoiding clashes, pushing the whole company out onto the street.
To date, the demonstrators surrounded the presidential palace and demand that the head of state come out to them.
“We expect the president to come out and talk to us,” said one of the leaders of the protest, former Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic.
Meanwhile, a police spokesman reported on the attack on law enforcement officers at the time of a cordon breach.
- he said.
Interior Minister Nebojsha Stefanovich strongly condemned the attack and promised that its members would be responsible for the crime before the law.

The only problem of the protesters is that fewer people gather. At night, there were 1584 people, and even fewer at the beginning. So nervous about it. Now they are even smaller, and there is a lot of noise, because the fascist Obradovic and the oligarchs Djilas and Jeremic want to return to power
- Said the president to the press.
They knocked over the fence. But we are not women from television to be intimidated
