Tens of thousands of Serbians rallied in the capital Belgrade on Monday, demanding better security, a ban on violent content on TV, and the resignation of key ministers, days after two separate mass shootings.
Crowds in numbers not seen in the Balkan country for years, solemnly marched through the city centre behind a banner reading "Serbia Against Violence".
Last Wednesday, a schoolboy who brought two handguns to his schoo, killed eight pupils and a security guard. Six other pupils and a teacher were wounded. Opposition parties and some rights groups accuse President Aleksandar Vucic and his ruling Serbian Progressive Party of autocracy, oppressing media freedoms, violence against political opponents, cronyism, corruption, and ties with organised crime. Vucic and his allies deny this.
