TL;DR Summary

Following two mass shootings in Serbia, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in protest against what they view as a culture of violence in the country. While the government has announced a "general disarmament" programme, protesters are calling for the resignation of senior officials and the revocation of licences of pro-government broadcasters. The protests are focused on the root causes of the shootings, including a culture of both rhetorical and physical violence which they believe has grown since the Serbian Progressive Party took power in 2012.
