Serbian protesters blocked offices of the state broadcaster in the capital and second-largest city Novi Sad overnight, in a bid to draw attention to their months-long rallies against the rule of President Aleksandar Vucic.

A police officer was injured in a skirmish outside the RTS building in Belgrade on Tuesday, as an elite unit arrived on the scene. Demonstrators remain outside the broadcaster’s offices, blocking entry to RTS staff.
