Anti-government protesters demolished the offices of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in the northern city of Novi Sad and clashed with police and SNS supporters in the capital Belgrade on Thursday, a day after violent unrest left dozens injured, APA reports citing Reuters.
In Novi Sad, Serbia's second-largest city, police and SNS supporters loyal to populist President Aleksandar Vucic were absent as dozens of anti-government protesters smashed the windows of the party's offices, threw out furniture and SNS paraphernalia, and splashed paint across the entrance.
"He's gone," protesters chanted in unison, referring to Vucic's 13-year-long rule.
Police in full riot gear later cordoned off several blocks in Novi Sad's city centre and used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
