TL;DR Summary

Serbians have surrendered over 15,000 weapons and 2,500 explosive devices as part of a month-long amnesty announced by the government following two mass shootings that killed 18 people and injured 21. President Aleksandr Vučić announced a raft of bold measures, aiming for the “almost total disarmament” of the country. However, the anger is directed not just at guns, but at the “culture of violence” – from iron-fisted political discourse to the exaltation of criminals – over which the government has prevailed, critics say. Tens of thousands of people have marched through Belgrade in what was the biggest anti-violence protest so far.
