Also in Novi Sad, according to the Autonimija Info website, a dozen young men lightened torches and fireworks from the rooftops.
The residents told the website that the group came by a white van carrying sound equipment in the afternoon and at 8:30 played slogans against Dragan Djilas, an opposition leader.
The residents called police saying the young men did not live in the building thus violating the curfew. Three police cars and a van arrived, and the officers entered the building.
Similar fireworks were filmed in Belgrade too.
