Under an amnesty scheme in Serbia, citizens began handing over illegal weapons to the government.
There were two consecutive shooting incidents in the country in which 17 people were killed and 7 were injured.
President Alexander Vučić announced the arms amnesty scheme, citizens have handed over more than 3,000 illegal weapons to the government in two days.
A 13-year-old school student killed eight students and a security guard with two handguns.
The student is in custody and undergoing a mental health evaluation but cannot be charged due to his young age.
President Alexander said that 3,000 illegal weapons have been handed over to the government authorities by the citizens.
It should be noted that the practice of keeping weapons in Serbia is common, here citizens also have weapons used by the army.
Armed conflicts in the 1990s led to the development of a gun culture in Serbia.
