BELGRADE, December 27. /TASS/. Several hundred supporters of the "Serbia against violence" opposition coalition staged another protest rally near the Republican election commission in downtown Belgrade, followed by a march across the city. According to a TASS reporter at the scene, about 400 protesters stepped onto the pavement and headed to the Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) building.

The protesters walked down Belgrade’s main streets, chanting calls to release all detained rioters. The protesters carried along sound equipment, accompanying their calls with music and whistles.

At the same time, the number of protesters has dropped significantly, along with the length of the rally, which lasted less than an hour and a half on Wednesday.

On December 18, the opposition started a series of protests at the Republican election commission building; on December 24, they tried to storm the city administration building.
