Thousands of protesters clashed with riot police in the Serbian capital, Belgrade, on Aug. 18, as President Aleksandar Vucic said the West was fomenting a “colored revolution.”

Belgrade has seen largely peaceful demonstrations, off and on, for nine months since a concrete canopy collapsed at a train station in Novi Sad in northern Serbia in November, killing 16 people.
