Serbia ruling party offices set on fire in protests

Protestors and police clash in Belgrade

The protest, which has been going on for the past week, escalated dramatically last night as protestors marched to the offices of the ruling party and set them on fire. The fire was put out by the authorities before any major damage was done. The protestors were eventually dispersed by the police who used tear gas and rubber bullets. There have been several protests in Serbia in recent months as the people have grown increasingly frustrated with the government's inaction on addressing the rising cost of living and the worsening economic situation. This is the first time that violence has erupted during one of these demonstrations. The Serbian Prime Minister, Ana Brnabic, released a statement this afternoon, saying that the government will not be intimidated by these actions and will continue to support the ruling party's policies.
