Tens of thousands of people have converged on the Serbian capital of Belgrade for a major rally in support of President Aleksandar Vucic, who is facing an unprecedented revolt against his autocratic rule amid the crisis triggered by two mass shootings that have stunned the nation.
Addressing the rain-drenched crowd, Mr Vucic blasted the opposition for seeking his resignation for mishandling the crisis and creating divisions within the country. The two shootings in early May left 18 people dead.
