(20 Apr 2019) Several thousand people took part in an anti-government protest in Serbia's capital on Saturday.
Blowing whistles, protesters marched through downtown Belgrade demanding more democracy and media freedom.
Such marches have been held every Saturday since December.
The rally came a day after President Aleksandar Vucic held a mass rally in an apparent bid to counter the months of street protests.
Vucic is a former extreme nationalist who now says he wants Serbia to join the European Union.
He has rejected opposition allegations that he has imposed an autocracy on Serbia.
On Friday, he told supporters at a rally in Belgrade that political differences should be solved at the ballot box.
Serbian opposition leaders have said they will boycott any future election unless it is free and fair for all.
On Saturday, they said that a team of experts was ready for talks with the government on demands for a free vote.
