It was the seventh consecutive protest after two shootings in May that killed 18 people. Participants in the rally in Belgrade gathered in front of the parliament building in the center of the Serbian capital on Saturday evening. In two separate columns, they marched to the city’s highway, where they blocked a section for two hours. Further demonstrations took place in the major cities of Novi Sad, Nis and Kragujevac.
The participants in the meetings demanded the resignation of President Aleksandar Vucic and the officials responsible for the security apparatus. They accused Vucic and the tabloid media he controlled of creating a climate of hatred and violence. Left and liberal opposition parties and citizens’ movements had called for the meeting.
A 13-year-old shot nine classmates and a security guard at a school in Belgrade in early May. A day later, a 21-year-old shot people in a village near Belgrade, killing eight of them. The two acts, which are not directly related, deeply shocked Serbian society. (sda/dpa)
