Protestors had accused the police of using the outlawed device against crowds as hundreds of thousands gathered in Belgrade. The protests were the largest in Serbia's history.

The protest in Belgrade, Serbia, was the culmination of four months of rallies against President Aleksandar Vucic’s government after a deadly train station roof collapse.

Hundreds of thousands of people descended on Serbia's capital on Saturday to protest over the deaths of 15 people in a railway station collapse. While the government put attendance at 107,000 across Belgrade, an independent monitor said 325,000 - if not more - had gathered, making it Serbia's largest protest ever.
