The Serb Radical Party (SRS) announced on its website that the protests will take place daily, but at the same time denied that it is the organizer. New pro-Karadzic demo in capital Some 300 people were gathered at Trg Republike in downtown Belgrade this afternoon, most of them wearing t-shirts with images of Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. They burned a Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) flag, chanting Karadzic's name, and at the same time flying SRS party flags. MUP officers who were again present at the scene told B92 reporters that the gathering today had been approved by the police.

Six Russian nationals carrying Russian army units flags have also been seen. Radeta told journalists that the protest has been joined by SRS MPs and Belgrade assembly members. "This is an introduction to a big rally that we will organize at the start of next week," she revealed, and went on to brand DS leader and Serbia's President Boris Tadic and the new government treasonous.
