40 Police Officers Injured in Serbia's Anti-Government Protests

Israa Farhan More than 40 police officers have been injured during anti-government protests in Serbia overnight, the country's interior minister Ivica Dačić confirmed. Several officers suffered serious injuries, including broken arms and legs, and authorities reported the arrest of 37 people. Security forces used tear gas during clashes in the capital, Belgrade, pushing demonstrators towards Slavija Square. The confrontations between protesters and police remained ongoing into the night. The unrest follows a series of demonstrations that began on Wednesday night in the towns of Vrbas and Bačka Palanka, where protesters demanded early elections. The current wave of protests can be traced back to 1 November 2024, when the roof of a canopy at the Novi Sad railway station collapsed, killing 16 people. The tragedy prompted extensive investigations, which on 1 August led to the arrest of 12 individuals, including former Minister of Construction and Infrastructure Tomislav Momirović, and his successor Goran Vesić, who was in hospital at the time of his detention. Serbian authorities have claimed that the demonstrations are being orchestrated by Western intelligence agencies following the model of color revolutions. President Aleksandar Vučić has also alleged that anti-government sentiment among Serbian youth is being fueled and funded from Brussels. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
