Serbians have responded to a government campaign by handing over thousands
of weapons. The campaign was launched after a series of shootings in the
country, including the assassination of a prominent lawyer. The government
had called on citizens to surrender their illegal weapons in exchange for
money or the possibility of amnesty. Over 3,000 guns and other weapons have
been handed over since the campaign began, according to the Serbian
Interior Ministry. The government hopes that the initiative will reduce the
number of firearms in circulation and make the country safer.
