Serbian Protests Demand End to Violence and Political Change

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Belgrade for the fifth time to demonstrate against what they claim is a culture of violence spurred on by the ruling party and government-controlled media outlets. They are calling for the government to revoke broadcasting licenses of channels promoting violent content, a ban on newspapers attacking political dissidents, and the resignations of the interior minister and head of intelligence services. The protests were triggered by two mass shootings last month, the biggest since the fall of Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.
