This video from #Belgrade (#Serbia 🇷🇸) tonight is infuriating.

It's the third night of anti-government protests in #Serbia 🇷🇸:

Clearly protesters aimed to have a nonviolent sit-in in order to prevent another night of police attacks

So far protesters have been successful in preventing another night of violence
