Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced a vast disarmament plan after two killings committed in less than 48 hours. The two shootings, in which a total of 17 people died, horrified the Serbs.
Their president promised to drastically reduce the number of legally held weapons and to tackle the problem of illegal weapons. Some 765,000 weapons, including more than 232,000 pistols, are legally registered in the country of less than seven million people where shooting ranges are popular.
