Tens of thousands of Serbians from across the country - most of them students - held a major anti-government rally in Belgrade on Saturday,
Euronews reports.
A deafening sound of whistles and vuvuzelas echoed throughout downtown Belgrade on Saturday as a major rally was held against populist President Aleksandar Vucic and his government.
Huge crowds converged on downtown Belgrade for the rally, which is a culmination of months of almost daily anti-corruption protests that have posed the biggest challenge to Vucic's 13-year firm grip on power in Serbia.
Many city residents came out to welcome the protesters, most of them university students, who came into Belgrade from across the country, waving flags and chanting slogans.
With public transport suspended, columns of people flowed into the city centre from nearby municipalities.
A large number of cars also headed towards the city, decorated with Serbian national flags, greet citizens with their horns, creating a carnival atmosphere.
President Vucic has repeatedly warned that violence is planned at the rally and threatened arrests over any incidents. Vucic supporters have been camping in the city centre, further fuelling fears of clashes.
