Geography of Serbia

Tens of thousands of Serbs protested last night in the capital Belgrade under the slogan "Serbia against violence", world agencies reported.

The demonstration was organized by the opposition after the two mass shootings that killed 17 people, including eight children.

Two days later, a 21-year-old man went on a shooting spree in the Belgrade suburb of Mladenovac, killing eight and wounding 13.

Thousands of Serbs have since taken to the streets to protest what they say is a culture of violence in Serbian society fed by irresponsible politicians and tabloid media.
