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

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."
