BELGRADE, December 24. /TASS/. Supporters of the opposition coalition "Serbia against Violence", who started a series of rallies near the Republican Election Commission building in the center of Belgrade on the evening of December 18, are trying to storm the city administration building, a TASS correspondent reported from the scene.
Demonstrators used flagpoles to demolish the door and also broke the window, where they began throwing stones and beer cans, destroying CCTV cameras and using flares.
Earlier on Sunday, protesters gathered for another protest rally near the Election Commission building. The demonstrators blocked Kralja Milana Street. A stage with music was set up between the Election Commission building and the residence of the Serbian president, carrying Serbian and EU flags, shouted anti-government slogans and used loudspeakers, whistles and pipes.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic earlier claimed that opposition protests in Belgrade and aggressive speeches were futile because power in the country changes only at elections and there will be no violent change of power.
The protesters threw eggs, tomatoes, beer cans and firecrackers at the main entrance of the Election Commission headquarters on Monday. They also refused to let commission members leave after a meeting and threw trash at them.
Opposition supporters are protesting the victory of the ruling party-led coalition in the Belgrade City Assembly elections.
