Serbian protesters clash with police over government handling of coronavirus

Guardian, 09 Jul 2020

President Aleksandar Vucic backtracked on his plans to reinstate a coronavirus lockdown in Belgrade this week, but it didn’t stop people from firing flares and throwing stones while trying to storm the downtown parliament building.
