In Serbia, almost 70,000 people on Saturday, August 23, went out to peaceful protests against rallies and attempts to block roads and infrastructure held by the opposition and students.

"Peaceful assemblies were held in 71 municipalities and cities, according to police estimates, 69,776 people participated in them. There was not a single incident," he stressed.
