Two senior citizens were sitting on a bench in a New Belgrade neighborhood when police officers approached and ID's them, a Tanjug reporter said.

These Belgraders are believed to be over 65 years old, because they were then escorted to their apartments by the officers.

Starting today, a ban on leaving their homes in Serbian cities applies to citizens over 65 years of age, which is one of the measures taken by the Serbian government during a state of emergency introduced to suppress coronavirus.
