In the wake of two deadly shootings within two days, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has ordered his government to toughen the Balkan country’s already strict gun control measures, with a goal of reducing private gun ownership by 90 percent.
In a Thursday address to the nation still mourning the victims, Vučić said he has instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to urgently prepare amendments to the law on weapons and ammunition, which would tighten the rules for keeping and carrying firearms. For gun owners who fail to comply with those stricter rules, they will have to turn over their weapons through a mandatory weapon program.
