Some protesters blame Serbia's president for creating an atmosphere of hopelessness and division in the country that they say indirectly led to two recent mass shootings that left 18 people dead and 20 wounded.
Demonstrators hold Serbian flags and a banner reading"Serbia against violence" as they march during a rally to call for the resignation of top officials and the curtailing of violence in the media.
Answering Vucic’s call for what he called "the largest rally in the history of Serbia," his supporters, many wearing identical T-shirts with his portrait, were being bused to Belgrade from all over the Balkan country as well as neighboring Kosovo and Bosnia. Vucic has vehemently denied any responsibility for the shootings, calling organizers of the opposition protests "vultures" and "hyenas" who want to use the tragedies to try to come to power by force and without an election.Analysts believe that by staging the mass rally, Vucic who has ruled the country for more than a decade with a firm grip on power, is trying to overshadow the opposition protests with the sheer number of participants.
Vucic, a former pro-Russia ultranationalist who now says that he wants to take the country into the European Union, has alleged that "foreign intelligence services" are behind the opposition protests. He said that he received the tip from "sisterly" spy agencies "from the east" — thought to mean Russia.
