The crowds at Saturday’s protest lit flares outside the parliament building chanting anti-government slogans. Opposition parties meanwhile offered an “agreement” to the citizens pledging to restore democracy they say Vucic has stifled. BELGRADE, Serbia - Thousands of people have rallied in Serbia’s capital for 11th week in a row against populist President Aleksandar Vucic and his government.

Beleaguered opposition parties say they will boycott any future elections in Serbia unless they are free and fair.
