Protesters held signs against President Aleksandar Vucic and his government. They threw toilet paper at the building. Serbian authorities have rejected any responsibility for the May attacks.
The ninth protest "Serbia against violence" was held in Belgrade, but also in 7 cities of the country. Demonstrators in the capital walked to the Pink Television building, where they protested what they said was the usurpation of the national frequency and the airing of reality shows that incite violence.
They asked to have their broadcast license revoked after two mass shootings rocked the country a few weeks ago.
The protest began outside the Serbian parliament building before thousands marched to the TV Pink building in a residential area of Belgrade that also houses foreign embassies and residences.
Protesters held signs against President Aleksandar Vucic and his government. They threw toilet paper at the building. Serbian authorities have rejected any responsibility for the May attacks.
Opponents of the president, however, say hate speech and intolerance fueled by the media and pro-government officials have helped fuel violence in a society still reeling from a series of wars in the 1990s.
On May 3 and 4, there were two serious incidents in Serbia, where gun attacks left 18 dead and 20 injured, many of them children.
The first happened in a Belgrade elementary school, when a teenager used his father's gun to open fire on his classmates. A day later, a 20-year-old man randomly shot people in a rural area south of Belgrade.
Dozens of guards were stationed during Saturday's protest outside the TV Pink building, which was draped with a large Serbian flag.
According to local analysts, this Saturday's protest in Belgrade was bigger than previous ones and shows anti-Vucic anger in the Serbian capital.
