Civil society activists were stopped from handing a bullet-proof vest to the Mayor of the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad in front of an elementary school on Thursday.

Police officers detained activists from the Bravo civil society organization who were planning to hand Mayor Milan Djuric the vest. One of the activists said they wanted to show concern for the mayor who was visiting the school before the start of the school year since nothing has been done to improve security in schools following the mass shootings in a Belgrade elementary school in May.

Police officers detained the activists for an hour before releasing them.

A double homicide was committed a few days ago in front of the school the mayor was visiting.
