The target here – the headquarters of the President’s party.

The offices of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party - under attack…
Buildings set alight – here in Valjevo - protesters use flares.

In Belgrade - a brick through the window – prompting a visit from the President - who cuts his hand on the glass.

Growing anger on display – directed towards the Serbian leader.

The President - Aleksandar Vucic - is refusing demands to call an early election -- but the people want to have their say.

Vucic has threatened a crackdown -- claiming the protesters are aiming to destroy Serbia itself.

But the populist leader's threats have not prevented showdowns in the streets between the police and the people

Protests began in November 2024, when a train station canopy collapsed - 16 people were killed.

Demonstrators blamed corruption in the country's infrastructure projects.
