In Belgrade, for example, they gathered in front of the parliament in the center of the capital on Saturday evening before marching to the city highway, where they blocked a section for two hours. Further demonstrations took place in the major cities of Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac.
The participants in the rallies demanded the resignation of President Aleksandar Vucic and the officials responsible for the security apparatus. They accused Vucic and the tabloid media he controlled of creating a climate of hatred and violence.
A 13-year-old shot nine classmates and a security guard in a Belgrade school in early May. A day later, a 21-year-old shot people in a village near Belgrade, killing eight of them. The two acts, which are not directly related, deeply shocked Serbian society.
