The recent clashes were seen as a major escalation after more than nine months of persistent demonstrations against autocratic President Aleksandar Vucic. The president’s supporters repeatedly hurled flares at protesters in the northern city of Novi Sad, near the offices of Vucic’s ruling Serbian Progressive Party. Thousands more gathered in other parts of the country, including the capital, Belgrade.
