BELGRADE — Tens of thousands of Serbs joined an anti-government protest in Belgrade on Saturday, blaming a culture of violence for the deaths of 18 people in two mass shootings and calling on the interior minister to resign. The protest marked the one-month anniversary of the country’s first school shooting on May 3, when a teenager killed ten in an elementary school. In the second shooting on May 4, a 21-year-old man killed eight in a town outside Belgrade.In response to the shootings, the government announced school summer holidays would start on June 6, two weeks earlier than planned.
Opposition parties which organized the protest – the fifth in the space of a month – say the government of President Aleksandra Vucic has failed to tackle the promotion of violence in the media and allowed it to permeate society.
