Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said that mass riots and attacks on buildings in Belgrade are an attempt to organize a color revolution. This was reported by the SRNA news agency on August 18.

"Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has stated that violence in Serbia is part of an attempt at a color revolution organized and paid for from the outside," the agency said in a statement.

It is assumed that the financing of such riots has not been thought out, and the instigators do not have a plan and program that they will offer to the people of Serbia.

On August 18, anti-government protesters in Serbia smashed windows in one of the Belgrade offices of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SPP). It is noted that the protesters use pyrotechnics and throw stones.

Earlier in the day, an unknown man was arrested in Belgrade for attempting to set fire to the Museum of Yugoslavia. A museum security guard noticed a man with a suspicious object in his hands and immediately called the police. After that, an unknown person threw a Molotov cocktail. No one was injured in the incident.

On August 17, Vucic promised to take decisive action against the unrest in Serbia. According to him, the government sets itself the task of restoring order, enforcing laws and maintaining peace in the country by mobilizing all available means and levers. At the same time, on the same day, in his address to the nation, the head of state stated that the country's authorities were not considering a state of emergency amid anti-government protests.

On August 12, protests took place in Serbian Vrbas, during which almost 70 people were injured. A group of citizens of the republic expressed dissatisfaction in front of the building of the Serbian Progressive Party and its supporters. On August 13, it was reported that 64 people were injured in the protests, 16 of them policemen. The actions covered the offices of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party in Novi Sad and other cities of Serbia.
