Serbia: EU postpones celebrations after massacres

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 9 - Following the country's two mass shootings, the EU Delegation in Serbia has postponed all Europe Day events and campaigns in Serbia. Every May 9, Europe observes Europe Day to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration.

"In light of the tragedies that happened in the last few days in Serbia that took the lives of too many innocent people, children, school staff, we consider that times are not to celebrate, but to mourn and grieve," EU Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret said. Instead of a series of planned events, Tanja Miscevic, Serbian Minister for European Integration, and the Embassies of EU Member States in Serbia will unveil a flower installation in Kalemagdan Fortress today. The flower installation will represent the European Union and Serbia paying tribute to the victims and expressing solidarity with the victims' families and friends, the EU Delegation informed.
