Tens of thousands of Serbians rallied in the capital Belgrade on Monday, demanding better security, a ban on violent content on TV and the resignation of key ministers, days after two separate mass shootings.

Crowds in numbers not seen in the Balkan country for years, solemnly marched through the city centre behind a banner reading "Serbia Against Violence."

"We have gathered here to pay our final respects to the murdered children and to take every possible action to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again, anywhere," protester Borivoje Plecevic said.

On May 3, a schoolboy killed six students, a teacher and a security guard with two handguns that he had brought to his school. Six other students and a teacher were wounded.

A day later, a 21-year-old man brandishing an assault rifle and a pistol killed eight and wounded 14 people in central Serbia. Both shooters are under arrest, according to authorities.
