BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Tens of thousands of protesters rallied on Saturday against lithium mining in Serbia, despite officials'' warnings of their alleged plot to topple populist President Aleksandar Vučić and his government.
Vučić said earlier he had been tipped off by Russian intelligence services that a "mass unrest and a coup" were being prepared in Serbia by unspecified Western powers that wish to oust him from power.
Government officials and state-controlled media have launched a major campaign against the rally, comparing it to the Maidan uprising in Ukraine''s capital, Kiev, that led to the toppling of the country''s then pro-Russia President Viktor Yanukovych in 2013. Organizers of the Belgrade protest have said the protest would be peaceful.
The demonstration came after weeks of protests in dozens of cities throughout Serbia against a government plan to allow lithium mining in a lush farming valley in the west of the country.
