Police intervene against protesters in Belgrade

Belgrade, March 02, 2010 (Serbia Today, B 92) - About thirty workers of a former Serbian Railways company who have been blocking the main railway station in Belgrade have been "moved from the tracks” according to Serbian media B 92. According to reports, MUP officers intervened to remove the protesting women from the railroad tracks, and are now preventing them from going back. The intervention was unmarked by any incidents, reports said. The protesters, all from the Nega Kola company, earlier stranded both incoming and outgoing trains. A number of local trains, and those traveling on international lines from Sofia, Budapest and Sarajevo were delayed this morning. The protesting workers are demanding payment of overdue wages, and for the company management to be replaced.
