Serbian Opposition Holds New Protests Against Last Month's National, Municipal Elections

The opposition Serbia Against Violence coalition led a new anti-government protest on January 26 in the country's capital, Belgrade, over disputed national and municipal elections that were held on December 17. Protesters gathered in front of the Constitutional Court, where opposition representatives had submitted a demand to have the national and Belgrade elections annulled, claiming electoral fraud by the ruling party. The national Election Commission announced final vote totals on January 12, and all opposition objections were rejected amid a series of street protests against the published results.
