STORYLINE:
Riot police forced back protesters in Belgrade on Saturday evening.

The major rally in the Serbian capital against the country's populist president, Aleksandar Vucic, was called to back a demand for an early parliamentary election.

The protest by tens of thousands was held after nearly eight months of persistent demonstrations led by Serbia's university students that have rattled Vucic's firm grip on power in the Balkan country.

The huge crowd chanted “We want elections!” as they filled the capital’s central Slavija Square and several blocks around it, with many unable to reach the venue.

Tensions were high before and during the gathering.

Riot police deployed around government buildings and close to a camp of Vucic’s loyalists in central Belgrade.

Skirmishes erupted between riot officers and groups of protesters near the camp.
