Serbia: Thousands protest state TV's silence on anti-govt movement

10 Mar 2019 08:07

Islam Times - Thousands protested in front of the Serbian State Broadcaster (RTS) in Belgrade on Saturday, who the protesters accuse of censorship and not covering the wave of anti-government protests as they enter their fourteenth week.



The protesters claim RTS has avoided covering the protests in a bid to reinforce Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's power.

The protesters marched through the streets of the Serbian capital, holding banners, placards, and shouting anti-Vucic slogans as they made their way to the television headquarters.

Once there, the protesters placed hundreds of stickers on its facade, depicting Vucic's silhouette along with the word "liar."

The protests, which have taken place every Saturday since early December last year, were sparked by opposition leader Borko Stefanovic being attacked in the city of Krusevac in November 2018.
