Serbian police detained 79 people overnight as student-led protests and acts of civil disobedience entered their fifth consecutive day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said on July 3. The arrests come amid growing unrest across the country,

Serbia’s president has announced more arrests following clashes with the police at a massive anti-government protest in Belgrade.

The Kremlin said on Monday that it could not rule out the possibility that anti-government protests in Serbia, a close Russian ally, could be an attempted "colour revolution", but that it was sure the Serbian leadership could restore calm.
