BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Several hundred student protesters have blocked Serbia's public television station building in Belgrade as tensions are soaring in the Balkan country days ahead of a planned large rally over the weekend billed as an endgame in months of anti-government demonstrations.

Students and anti-government protesters block access to the offices of state broadcaster Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), keeping employees out and forcing some of the live programming to go off air,

Serbian protesters blocked offices of the state broadcaster in the capital and second-largest city Novi Sad overnight, in a bid to draw attention to their months-long rallies against the rule of President Aleksandar Vucic.
