Students and police clash in Serbia following death of 25-year-old student

Hundreds of Serbian students clashed with police on Tuesday ​during a protest against a police search of University of ‌Belgrade offices, Reuters writes.

Police said the search was part of ⁠an investigation into the death of a female student, 25, last Friday ​after falling from a window in a nearby faculty building.

University Rector Vladan ​Djokic later told the crowd of protesters that police entered the building without a valid legal explanation looking for documents, and had seized computers.

Dragan Vasiljevic, ​director of the Serbian police, said the officers were acting on a court order ‌when ⁠they entered the university’s offices to seek evidence related to the student’s death.
