Paris: France's presidential Elysee palace has confirmed that Emmanuel Macron's two-day foreign trip to Serbia this week is being postponed as a result of the weekend violence in Paris.

Macron was due to meet with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Wednesday. After a phone conversation on Monday, they agreed to reschedule the trip in the near future.

More than 130 people were injured in the French capital and 412 have been arrested over the weekend during France's worst urban riot in years, with dozens of cars torched.

Anti-government protesters gained new allies as paramedics and students joined ongoing rallies while the prime minister met with political rivals in a bid to ease the anger following riots.
