Serbia Surrenders 13,500 Weapons, Including Guns and Grenades.

Serbia's government declared a one-month amnesty period for citizens to surrender unregistered weapons as part of a crackdown on guns following two mass shootings that left 17 people dead. Approximately 13,500 items, including guns, grenades, and rocket launchers, were surrendered since the amnesty opened on May 8. Serbia has tens of thousands of weapons brought in from the battlefields of the 1990s wars in the Balkans. After June 8, people caught with illegal weapons could face prison sentences of up to 15 years.
