protested against fuel price hikes on Friday afternoon. Friday's

through social networks. The traffic was halted from 17 o' clock
until 18 in the afternoon, exactly on the rush hour.

increased by 5-6% in the last month, reaching respectively
1,28-1,41 euro. In Serbia, the average net salary is around 420
euro monthly.
