Activists and sympathisers of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), led by leader Vojislav Seselj, held a protest march in Belgrade, during which Seselj set fire to the flags of the European Union and NATO, on the occasion of two decades since the NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia.

Seselj set the flags on fire in Knez Mihajlova street where the gathering took place, saying that this act symbolises what he feels about the EU and NATO.

He told the protesters that the Serb people would never forget the “savage and criminal bombing of Serbia.”

“We can never forget and never forgive them. The Serb people will never cross their minds to join that organisation and be blackmailed by those beasts to attack other people,” Seselj told the press.
