A rally in support of Vucic was held in Vrana, Serbia

A peaceful rally in support of President Aleksandar Vucic was held in Vrana in southern Serbia on August 20. Despite the small population of 55 thousand people, about 1.5 thousand residents gathered at the rally.

It is noted that the protesters were in favor of freedom of movement. As noted by Izvestia correspondent Sergey Petrov, the march was peaceful, unlike the student marches and a number of other protests that took place in Belgrade.

"This is just a peaceful walk to show these blockers that we can walk peacefully, not break anything to anyone and not violate someone else's space," said Plasek Zvonko, a participant in the rally.

Local politician Nikola Poplic said he was deeply concerned about the current situation and demanded the restoration of comfortable conditions, which, according to him, the Serbs had lost.

Earlier, on August 19, Vucic said that mass riots and attacks on buildings in Belgrade were an attempt to organize a color revolution. 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.

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.

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.
