Tens of Thousands March Against Gun Violence in Serbia After Two Mass Shootings

HeadlineMay 09, 2023

In Serbia, tens of thousands of people joined protests against gun violence in the capital Belgrade Monday, demanding that top government officials resign in the wake of two mass shootings last week. Seventeen people were killed in the attacks, including eight schoolchildren. This is protester Slobodan Sekulic.

Slobodan Sekulic: “It is tragic that so many kids killed by their peers were buried in a short period of time. This is a low point. We are already used to what happens in Texas, but there, weapons are openly purchased. And here, where do they get the firearms? It is a disaster.”
