Serbian President Rejects Demands of Protesters Calling for Resignations After Mass Shootings

  • Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Belgrade and other Serbian cities against President Aleksandar Vucic.
  • The protests have been ongoing for seven weeks and were initially sparked by two mass shootings in May.
  • Protesters are demanding the resignations of top Serbian security officials and the revoking of broadcasting licenses for pro-government media and tabloids.
  • They believe state-controlled media is responsible for the culture of violence in Serbia since the Balkan wars in the 1990s.
  • Vucic has rejected the opposition's demands and called protest leaders "hyenas."
