Serbians storm TV studio and confront editor after student movement's election win

On Wednesday, Serbians stormed a TV studio in Belgrade and confronted its editor-in-chief, after the student-led movement swept into power. On Tuesday, a minor who attacked a guard at Israel's embassy in Belgrade with knives was shot dead by police, according to Interior Minister Ivica Dacic, who said the highest terror alert was declared. Key posts including prime minister remain unsettled and the timing of government formation is unclear.

  • Supporters of the movement that won Sunday's election stormed a pro-government tabloid's offices on Monday, and another outlet apologized for years of "one-sided" coverage.
  • Volunteers cleared the pro-government camp known as Ćaciland from Pioneers Park, opposite the national assembly, after 18 months.
  • Questions remain over what comes next for the movement, which began with protests after the Novi Sad station roof collapse.
