Serbs gathered in central Belgrade for the seventh week of anti-government protests on June 17, demanding the resignation of the country’s political leaders and the shutdown of tabloids and broadcasters they say are promoting violence. The protests began after two mass killings that rocked Serbia in early May. The crowd demanded the dismissal of the interior minister and the heads of other government agencies. Protests were also reported in Novi Sad, Kragujevac, and Nis. Government leaders have said they have taken substantial steps to reduce violence in the country, and pro-government protests have also been held in recent weeks.
