This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hundreds of protesters — mostly students — gathered to block a major intersection in the Serbian capital ahead of a partial vote rerun on Saturday.
The action was the first day-long protest since parliamentary and local elections on December 17, which President Aleksandar Vucic’s party claimed it had easily secured.
Opposition parties, such as the coalition Serbia Against Violence, allege that ethnic-Serbian voters from neighboring Bosnia had been allowed to vote illegally in Belgrade.
They say the supporters of incumbent populist President Aleksandar Vucic took part in local elections by registering at bogus addresses in the capital, despite not living there.
Several Western nations voiced concern over the electoral process and international observer groups reported election irregularities.
Official results show that his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won roughly 46% of votes in the parliamentary elections, while the leading opposition coalition secured 23.5%.
