Serbian police detain 38 people protesting over ‘unfair’ election

Opposition group Serbia Against Violence staged protests over elections deemed irregular by international rights watchdogs

Serbian police have detained at least 38 people who took part in a protest over an election earlier this month that international monitors said was unfair.

Opposition group Serbia Against Violence has been staging protests since the 17 December elections, saying there was election fraud, particularly in the capital, Belgrade. The governing populists were declared winners of the parliamentary and local councils' elections.
