Serbian police clashed with anti-government protesters after tens of thousands rallied in Belgrade demanding an early election to remove President Aleksandar Vucic and his governing party.
Riot police arrested dozens of people late Saturday, using stun grenades and pepper spray against protesters who hurled rocks and confronted the officers. Almost 50 officers and more than 20 civilians were injured, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic told reporters in Belgrade on Sunday.
