Main streets were blocked for traffic, and stands with fast food and drinks were put up in front of the parliament. The rally is seen as Vucic's response to the big anti-government rally on March 15, when more than 100,000 people attended the biggest protest in decades. Tensions between Vucic's supporters and anti-government protesters ran high on Saturday. In Novi Pazar, which is the administrative centre of Serbia's Muslim majority region, anti-government activists tried to prevent buses with Vucic's supporters from leaving the town. In Belgrade, protesters tried to prevent buses from reaching the city centre and threw eggs at them, triggering police intervention.
