The President of Serbia said that those who on social networks admired and supported the student and staff who shot at the school would be subjected to special scrutiny by the police.
“We now have to review all 45 thousand people who like the killer and the monster. Today, the security services decided to increase the level of protection. Some of the dark web sites will be a thing of the past in the coming days. Everyone who likes the monster will have to explain why. Anyone who considers shooting to be salvation should go to jail. And we will seek the support of the prosecutors, and not wait for a warrant to search the killer’s apartment. As you know, this does not meet European standards. Is not it? Well, now it will,” Vucic said.
