In late 2018 started a series of peaceful protests over the rise of political violence and authoritarian rule of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and his SPP party.

 The protesters have called for political and press freedom, electoral reform and new elections, and also government transparency.

Protests were suspended in March 2020 over the COVID-19 pandemic, only to start in July again. Violence exploded when police clashed with protesters.

Thousands of people join anti-government protests in Belgrade, asking for reduction of the measures applied to contain the novel coronavirus outbreak.
