Thousands of people have protested in Serbia's capital Belgrade against the arrest of ex-Bosnian Serb army chief Ratko Mladic.
They hailed Gen Mladic as a hero and said he should not be handed over the UN's war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
There were clashes with police as the demonstration ended.
Gen Mladic faces extradition to The Hague on charges of war crimes including the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 7,500 Muslim men and boys.
His son, Darko Mladic, said earlier on Sunday that despite the tribunal's indictment, his father had told him he was not responsible for the killings, committed after his troops overran the city.
"He said that whatever was done in Srebrenica, he had nothing to do with it," he said after visiting Gen Mladic in detention at Serbia's war crimes court.

At least 7,000 supporters of Gen Mladic gathered in central Belgrade to hear speeches from nationalist politicians and decry Mr Mladic's arrest.
"Cooperation with The Hague tribunal represents treason," said Lidija Vukicevic of the Serbian Radical Party.
"This is a protest against the shameful arrest of the Serbian hero."
The demonstrators also denounced Serbia's pro-Western President Boris Tadic.
