BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — As tensions in Serbia soar, students and other opponents of the populist president are gearing up for a major rally in the capital, Belgrade, over the weekend. Momentum has been building in favor of their demands for major changes in the Balkan country, after nearly four months of student-led anti-government protests.

Serbian protesters blocked offices of the state broadcaster in the capital and second-largest city Novi Sad overnight, in a bid to draw attention to their months-long rallies against the rule of President Aleksandar Vucic.
