Thousands take to streets in Belgrade for anti-government rally (VIDEO)

A car has plowed through the crowd of protesters in the Serbian capital, injuring three, according to the authorities

Massive crowds have gathered in downtown Belgrade for an anti-government protest, which some Western media outlets described as “probably the biggest” in Serbia’s history. President Alexandar Vucic said the protesters aimed to stage a “color revolution” in the Balkan nation.

The Serbian parliament announced on Friday that its building would be closed over the weekend to prevent any possible provocations during the protest on Saturday. The decision was made “exclusively for security reasons” to ensure that the demonstration, which is expected to be held in front of the National Assembly building, “takes place without any incidents,” according to the parliament’s statement.

Videos that surfaced on social media showed large crowds flooding the streets in central Belgrade, with demonstrators waving Serbian national flags and blowing whistles. Some protesters were chanting anti-government slogans.

The Serbian authorities have so far provided no data on the number of participants. Some media claimed that around 30,000 people joined the protest.

The demonstration has reportedly caused traffic disruptions across the Serbian capital. At one point, a car rammed through the crowd of protesters, injuring at least three people. A video of the incident that appeared on social media showed the vehicle driving away from the crowd with one person lying on its hood. The person then fell to the ground as the car accelerated.
