Mass shootings spark massive protests in Serbia.
TL;DR
Tens of thousands of people marched through Belgrade in an anti-government protest blaming the recent mass shootings on a culture of violence that authorities have allowed to fester unchecked. Opposition parties organized the demonstration, calling for the resignation of President Aleksandar Vucic, Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic, and the head of Serbia's security agency. The government denies the allegations and accuses the opposition of organizing the protests for political gain.
