Serbia's president has accused demonstrators opposing a lithium mining project in the Balkan country of being part of a Western-backed 'hybrid' warfare against his government. Tens of thousands took to the streets in Belgrade to protest the mining project, despite warnings from officials about an alleged plot to unseat President Aleksandar Vucic.
Some protesters blocked railway tracks and briefly stopped traffic on a major highway, leading to police intervention. The Interior Minister stated that 14 people have been brought in for questioning, with more perpetrators to be identified and charged.
