MOSCOW (Reuters) - Sergei Shoigu, the secretary of Russia's Security Council, has met Serbia's outgoing deputy prime minister Alexandar Vulin in Moscow and discussed anti-government protests in his country, Russian state-run news agencies reported on Saturday.

Both referred to the protests as an attempted "colour revolution," a term used to describe pro-Western protests that toppled governments in Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan in recent decades.
