(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, MAY 8 - Thousands rallied in the
Serbian capital Belgrade on Monday, with the protesters calling
for the resignation of top officials and the curtailing of
violence in the media, after back-to-back shootings stunned the
Balkan country. The "Serbia against violence" demonstration saw
members from across the country's political divide come together
after last week's shootings -- where 17 people were killed in
less than 48 hours, including nine at an elementary school in
Belgrade. "We demand an immediate stop to further promotion of
violence in the media and public space, as well as
responsibility for the long-standing inadequate response from
competent authorities," the leftist Let's Not Let Belgrade Drown
party said in a statement. (ANSA-AFP).
