Pro-democracy Russians in Serbia protested on July 30 after two prominent anti-war activists and critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin said they faced problems with entry and residence permits in the Balkan country. Several dozen activists held banners reading, "We came to live in peace" and "I love Serbia and I want a safe and happy life here" on a central square in Belgrade. The rally came days after Serbian police refused to extend a residency permit for Vladimir Volokhonsky and weeks after another prominent activist, Peter Nikitin, spent more than one day at the Belgrade airport because of an entry ban, according to the two activists.
