City Hall protests continue

SRS, SPS and DSS-NS supporters have continued their protest in front of Belgrade City Hall at Mayor Zoran Alimpic’s decision to call the constitutive session for July 14. In a performance last night entitled “Light for Belgrade”, participants carried candles and torches in order to, as they put it, shed light on those who were destroying democracy and law and order.

The crowd chanted “Thieves, thieves” and “Out, out”. The protest passed off without incident. Antic, Vucic (FoNet)
