BBC Serbia protests: Anti-government demonstrators try to storm Belgrade city hall 24 Dec 2023　By Guy Delauney

　まあ、催涙ガスあたりで鎮圧される水準にとどまるようです。

「Police in Serbia's capital, Belgrade, have used tear gas to disperse crowds protesting over alleged fraud in last week's general election.

They intervened after some of the crowd outside the city hall smashed windows and attempted to force their way in.

Opposition activists say police used excessive force on Sunday.

They say the government manipulated the elections won by the ruling party. President Aleksandar Vucic says the allegations are "rubbish and lies".」

「More than 30 people were arrested during the demonstration and eight police officers were injured, according to the head of the Interior Ministry's Police department, Ivica Ivkovic.」

　30名以上が逮捕。まあ、この手のものとしてはあることです。ええまあ。

「There have been peaceful protests every evening since last week's national and local elections. Sunday's were the first to turn violent.」

　しかしねえ、選挙監視団も認める不正の存在。EUに入りたければ、そういうのダメだぞ？と警告されている始末。…今後の対応が待たれますな。

「The vote saw Mr Vucic's Serbian Progressive Party returned to power with a majority in parliament.

Domestic and international observers have reported "irregularities". There have been claims of ballot box stuffing and vote buying.」
