MIRROR NOW's compilation shows confrontations in Serbia after what the broadcaster describes as Aleksandar Vučić's concession of defeat to a student-led opposition movement. Its description places the unrest outside the presidential building on October 25, following a parliamentary election that came after two years of student protests.
The upload drew about 109,000 views in its first 19 hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening for a regular news video. But the footage is more specific than the title's broad declaration of "chaos": it follows convoys through the crowd, then shows people banging on a police bus, dragging away metal barricades and dismantling an encampment.
Civilian interviews appear alongside those scenes. The compilation begins repeating earlier sequences shortly before the seven-minute mark, so its later footage is not a continuous record of new incidents.
A landlocked country in Southeastern and Central Europe with about 6.5 million people. Its capital and largest city is Belgrade.
