Fresh clashes erupted late Saturday between protesters and riot police in Serbia's capital Belgrade and other cities, on the fifth consecutive night of unrest.

At their peak, the protests drew hundreds of thousands onto the streets.

But the mostly peaceful demonstrations deteriorated earlier this week when large groups of pro-government supporters – many masked and some armed with batons and fireworks – attacked protesters.
