Serbia’s anti-government protests have intensified despite severe police resistance, with demonstrators targeting the ruling Serbian Progressive Party’s offices in Valjevo.

On Saturday, police in Belgrade fired tear gas to disperse crowds, while protesters in Valjevo attacked party offices. The demonstrations, ongoing for months, have surged following allegations of police brutality against activists.

Clashes earlier in the week left 27 police officers and nearly 80 civilians injured, with 47 people arrested.

What began as a largely peaceful movement has now transformed into a volatile wave of unrest, with tensions continuing to mount across the country.

A wave of protests has erupted in Serbia’s capital, with thousands rallying against government corruption and inefficiency. The movement began in November after a railway station collapse in Novi Sad killed 15 people. What started as a student-led protest has now drawn widespread public support. Demonstrators plan a major rally in front of Parliament at 4 PM local time, demanding accountability for the disaster and an end to systemic corruption across all levels of government. The city is now under the protesters’ control.
