Head of right-wing Dveri party, Bosko Obradovic, has arrived at today’s anti-govt #1od5miliona demonstration.
In recent months, he has increasingly become the face of the protests, alienating liberal Serbs.
The protesters want "greater media freedom and free and fair elections," according to this Reuters account.
