Environmental protestors, including newly-elected MP Radomir Lazovic of "Don’t Let Belgrade D(r)own" (NDB), were attacked by police and private security in Serbia’s second largest city, Novi Sad, on Thursday 20 July. They were protesting against the General Urban Plan (GUP) which had only recently been revealed and will determine the development of the city over the next decade and beyond.
Serbia's far-right parties are being the most vocal in ensuring that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic doesn't bow to EU pressure and join Russian sanctions. For now Vucic seems to be listening, but how long can he hold out?
