A small group of local anti-state activists demonstrated on Wednesday outside the Serbian consulate in the northern port city of Thessaloniki in solidarity to six people arrested late last month in Belgrade on charges of vandalising the Greek embassy building in the Serbian capital.

Up to five suspects threw firebombs at the Greek embassy in Belgrade on the evening of Aug. 25, causing minor damages to the building.

The action, allegedly undertaken by a self-styled Serbian anarchist group, called "Crni Ilija", was linked to the continued incarceration of a man in a Greek jail on charges stemming from the ruinous urban riots in Athens last December.

The latter was on a hunger strike at the time before being released on bail.
According to reports, several of the protesters later met with Serbian consul Milan Dimitrievic, handing him a resolution.
