STORYLINE:
Serbs continued to lay flowers and light candles in front of a school in Belgrade on Saturday, where earlier this week a 13-year-old boy opened fire on his fellow students, killing seven girls, a boy and a school guard.
Residents also queued to add their names to a book of condolences.
Meanwhile, funerals also took place on Saturday for some of the victims of two mass shootings that happened just a day apart this week, leaving in total 17 people dead and 21 wounded, many of them children.
The shootings on Wednesday at the school in Belgrade and on Thursday in a rural area south of the capital city have left the nation stunned with grief and disbelief.
Though Serbia is awash with weapons and no stranger to crisis situations following the wars of the 1990s, a school shooting like the one on Wednesday has never happened before.
While the country struggled to come to terms with what happened, authorities promised a gun crackdown and said they would boost security in schools.
