Massive anti-government protests shake Belgrade.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Belgrade for the fifth anti-government protest in recent weeks, following two mass shootings that killed 18 people, half of them children. The protests have tapped into simmering anger at the ruling party over what protesters say is a culture of violence fanned by the government and the media outlets they control. The demonstrators are calling for the government to revoke the broadcasting licences of television channels promoting violent content, and a ban on pro-government newspapers that stir tensions by targeting political dissidents. They are also calling for the interior minister and the head of the intelligence service to resign.
