Serbian Prime Minister condemns riots outside parliament building over COVID-19 Response

Belgrade, July 8 (Sputnik) - Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic on Wednesday criticized mass protests in Belgrade in front of the Serbian parliament building over the government’s plans to impose a curfew over the weekend amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and related deaths.
Late on Tuesday, some 5,000 people gathered in central Belgrade to protest the new coronavirus-related measures. The most radical demonstrators, led by opposition activists, attacked police cordons, were able to enter the lobby of the Serbian parliament, and burned down three police cars and several garbage containers. In response, the police used tear gas and other riot gear.
"I strongly condemn the vandalism by politicians who are behind a violent invasion to the Skupstina [parliament] building at a time when the state and the health care system have been hit hardest by the coronavirus from the start of the pandemic," Brnabic said, as broadcast by Serbian national television.
