To put things in order: will the Serbian authorities be able to cope with the protests

Belgrade has no plans to hold early elections yet.

On November 2, mass protests took place in the center of Belgrade. A crowd gathered outside the parliament building, expressing dissatisfaction with the decision of the authorities, who forbade the female activist to set up a tent and go on a hunger strike. The next day, Serbian police detained the man who had provoked the riots.
