This footage was filmed and produced 8 July 2020.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić on Wednesday backtracked on plans to enforce a second coronavirus lockdown amid violent protesters in Belgrade.
Vučić had announced on Tuesday that new lockdown measures would be reintroduced later in the week amid increasing coronavirus cases, prompting demonstrators to gather in front of the parliament with some chanting "Resignation! Resignation!"
Protests continued on Wednesday, starting out peacefully, but then turning violent with several injured as clashes erupted between groups of protesters and police.
Police in armoured vehicles and on horseback pushed demonstrators back and preventing crowds from returning to the square outside the parliament building.
"This was filmed around 23:00. I was with a small group of people. Police was just standing around us so we couldn't go anywhere. While other officers were chasing our friends with horses and dogs. On the video you can see these police cars that look like tanks. Police officers were passing to go for our friends while we could just watch. We applauded them so that they feel ashamed", said Vanja Savic, author of the video.
