Ahead of the big protest/Students in Serbia block public television

A few days before the large protest announced for March 15, hundreds of student protesters in Belgrade have blocked the building of Serbia's public television station.

The move has heightened tensions, days before a major protest planned for the weekend and seen as an endgame in the last months of anti-government demonstrations.

Students initially blockaded the television building in central Belgrade, and several hundred gathered again after announcing that their blockade would last for at least 22 hours. A similar blockade was organized in the country's second largest city, Novi Sad.

During the blockade, riot police briefly intervened with batons as the crowd attempted to block one of the entrances to the television building with metal security fences. At least one plainclothes police officer was injured in the scuffle after apparently being hit in the head by a uniformed officer, according to a video posted on social media.

University students in Serbia have been organizing near-daily rallies that began after a concrete canopy collapsed in November at a railway station in Novi Sad, killing 15 people. /CNA
