TL;DR Summary

Thousands of protesters are expected to rally in Serbia's capital for the third time in a month, demanding the resignation of two senior ministers and the revocation of broadcasting licenses for two TV networks following two mass shootings that left 18 people dead. Prime Minister Ana Brnabic rejected opposition criticism of the government's handling of the crisis and accused the opposition of fueling violence in society. The protests are seen as an attempt to topple President Aleksandar Vucic and the government by force. The government has launched a gun crackdown and sent police to schools to boost security.
