Serbian police fired tear gas at protesters after being pelted with flares and stones on Wednesday, as thousands protested in front of the Belgrade parliament despite warnings that such gatherings could spread COVID-19.

The evening before, violence erupted when a crowd stormed parliament in protest of plans to reimpose a lockdown following a new spike in COVID-19 cases. Forty-three police officers and 17 protesters were injured, and there were 23 arrests.

Hours before Wednesday's protest, President Aleksandar Vucic called on people to stop attending anti-government rallies to avoid a further spread of the virus, warning there were no beds left in hospitals.
