Our Euronews Correspondent Dušan Ilic brings us the latest from Belgrade’s massive protest over nationwide government corruption, which gathered over 100,000 people.

The rally — which is probably the biggest anti-government protest ever held in Serbia — comes after more than four months of anti-corruption demonstrations.
