Serbian police fire tear gas at protesters threatening to storm city hall
Riot police in Serbia fired tear gas to prevent hundreds of opposition supporters from entering the capital’s city council building on Sunday in protest of what election observers said were widespread vote irregularities during a general election last weekend.
Serbia applied for European Union membership in 2009 and was accepted as an official candidate country in 2012 but since then little progress has been made towards joining the bloc with Aleksandar Vučić’s government accused of democratic backsliding.
