TL;DR Summary

Tens of thousands of protesters marched in Belgrade for the fifth time in a month, demanding the resignation of senior government officials and the revocation of broadcasting licenses for TV networks that promote violence and glorify crime figures. The protest was infiltrated by right-wing groups with close ties to Serbia's security service, leading to reports of attacks on foreign journalists. The opposition accuses President Aleksandar Vucic of fueling intolerance and hate speech, while illegally seizing control of all state institutions. The protests come after two mass shootings in May that left 17 people dead and have prompted a gun crackdown in Serbia.
