...

The rally on Saturday is expected to draw thousands of people as political tensions are running high over the Dec. 17 ballot and subsequent incidents and arrests of opposition supporters at a protest last weekend.

Populist President Aleksandar Vucic has accused the opposition of inciting violence with an aim to overthrow the government under instructions from abroad, which opposition leaders have denied.

Sounds like another Neocon Regime Change project. What happens next is that the Neocons arm-up the protesters, they shoot at police, police shoot back.

...and the Neocons, unable to win in Ukraine, starts bombing the crap out of civilians in Belgrade, yet again, and mostly out of frustration over Ukraine.

Why can’t the CIA do some good for a change and get rid of Iran’s mullahs?

I guess NATO needs to drop more cluster bombs on Serb Civilians so they can see the light.

Yes, you’re right. This is obviously a good election protest.( /s)

Unlike how the msm handles the election(s) in the US this protest will find its way to the front pages, and soon there will be demands to implement Responsibility to
Protect.

I was in Belgrade 2014. The scars of the latest bombings were still noticeable both on buildings and in the minds of the Serbs. Sad....

In Ukraine, they just shot some protesters and blamed it on the government forces.

“In Ukraine, they just shot some protesters and blamed it on the government forces.”

Yep, the Neocons must have been blown away by just how easy it was to destroy a country of 50 Million people. Probably gave them a God complex.
