Twitter suspends account of Serbian politician Vojislav Seselj

Twitter has suspended the account of Serbian Radical Party (SRS) leader Vojislav Seselj for what it said were violations of its rules.

Over the last few days, Seselj was involved in a polemic on the social network with those holding different politician views and with his political opponents, writing posts that, according to reactions of other users of this network, had elements of hate speech.
