Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic rallied his supporters in Belgrade on Saturday to push back against months of protests against him, telling them he will launch a new political movement. Vucic himself was due to address the crowd later in the evening to announce the launching of a new political movement.

Thousands from towns in Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia arrived by buses on Saturday to attend a rally in Belgrade organised in support of President Aleksandar Vucic, whose grip on power has been threatened by months of anti-corruption protests.

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.
