Thousands of protesters, mostly students, gathered in Serbia's capital on Friday ahead of a planned weekend of large-scale anti-government demonstrations, with many traveling hundreds of miles on foot or by bike.

Those who threaten peace will be detained," he said during a news conference. The protests are expected to be the largest in decades. The nearly daily student protests, which began in December, were sparked by the deaths of 15 people when a roof collapsed at a railway station in Novi Sad on November 1, a tragedy that opponents attribute to corruption under Vucic's leadership.
