A tragic school shooting in Belgrade on Wednesday, May 3 left eight students and a security guard dead, with the suspected 13-year-old gunman allegedly using his father's two handguns to carry out the pre-planned attack, police say. ImageImageImageImage
Six other pupils and a teacher were hospitalized, some with life-threatening injuries. The young suspected attacker, who will be placed in a psychiatric institution due to being below Serbia's age of criminal responsibility, surrendered to the police after the shooting. ImageImageImage
The devastating event has prompted Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic to announce stricter #guncontrol measures, including a moratorium on new gun licenses, revisions of existing permits, and increased surveillance of shooting ranges and civilian weapon storage.

Der Bruder (15 ) von einem, bei uns bestens integrierten jungen Afghanen wird auf Balkanroute/Bulgarien nicht nur abgewiesen, sond. von offiziellen Behörden beinahe totgeschlagen.
Kontakt nach Entlassung aus Gefängnis abgebrochen.
Wir wissen nicht, ob er tot ist
@a_schallenberg
Wenn man fragt, warum 15 Jähr. alleine auf der Flucht: Iran wollte ihn nach Afghanistan deportieren, oder Soldat rekrutieren, Türkei deportiert nach Afghanistan/zu Taliban.
Bruder in 🇦🇹 , was sollte der Junge sonst tun?
Krieg gegen Geflüchtete muss enden! @EuropeanCommiss
Die europäische Abschreckungspolitik fordert permanent Tote!
Ist das der Preis, den wir bezahlen wollen? Diese Verbrechen auf uns nehmen?

Ich erklär jetzt mal kurz den #Balkan...
Ein Österreicher beschimpft/beleidigt einen Nord-Mazedonier während einem Fußballspiel. (Anmerkung: Ich muß Nord-Mazedonier schreiben, weil sich ein paar Griechen aufregen würden, wenn ich nur Mazedonier schreibe). Der Nord-Mazedonier...
besitzt die nord-mazedonische Staatsbürgerschaft, hat aber einen albanischen Migrationshintergrund. Der Österreicher, der einen serbischen Migrationshintergrund hat, hat wohl deshalb in seiner Beschimpfung die albanische Mutter des Nord-Mazedoniers erwähnt und einen Beischlaf...
mit dieser angekündigt. Das hat er aber nicht nur einfach so gesagt, sondern die Mutter des Nord-Mazedoniers als Skipetarin bezeichnet, was im Serbischen/Kroatischen/Slowenischen/Bosniakischen/... ach jugoslawischem als Herabwürdigung von Albanern benutzt wird.

Vienna attacker was born and raised in #Vienna
He also had "Albanian roots" (parents from North Macedonia)

The gunman shot dead in the Vienna attacks was also one of 90 Austrian Islamists who wanted to travel to #Syria

Why is it relevant?

The #Balkans play an important role for #ISIS, which sees them as a buffer and a future battleground. The region already has established networks that can be used to transfer people and to raise support for ISIS.

ISIS has popped up in all corners of the globe, not being contained in the territory it physically controls in Iraq and Syria. Its goal is to create a Caliphate, an Islamic state which holds religious authority over the ENTIRE global Islamic community.

3. These 8 covers show pro-Serbian feeling & encouragements pushed in #Paris during #WW1.
At the time, #France was trying to obtain the establishment of a #Balkan front in order to help #Serbia, pincer #Quadruplice & alleviate Western front.
80,000 French died there.
And we won.. ImageImageImageImage

1-I’ve been covering the #refugee #migrant crisis for 5 years and I thought I’d write down a few of my experiences following the largest migration of people the world has ever known. I hope this thread raises awareness of the complexity around the subject. pics ©_edwardcrawford Migrants wearing face masks...
2-What I find interesting about the refugee/migrant crisis, particularly on social media. Is that people with little or no experience seem to be the most vocal and convinced of their opinions. Image
3-I’ve covered the migrantion crisis for 5 years & worked on the ground extensively. I’ve visited dozens of refugee camps & illegal migrant encampments. I’ve spent hundreds of hours with refugees & migrants. Listening to their stories and trying to make sense of this crisis. Image

631 yıl önce bugün 15 Haziran 1389'da Türklere #Tuna nehrine kadar olan toprakları ve #Balkan kapılarını ardına kadar açan bölgede Türk ve İslam nufusu iskan edilerek hakimiyeti pekiştiren 1.Kosova Muharebesi sonucunda başta savaş meydanında Şehit düşen 3.Osmanlı Padişahı ImageImageImage
Sultan 1. Murad Han olmak üzere tüm şehitlerimiz rahmet ve saygı ile anıyorum..ruhları şad olsun..
Savaşın tarihi tartışmalıdır. Batı kaynaklarında 15 Haziran 1389 (19 Cemâziyelâhir 791) tarihi genel olarak kabul görmekle birlikte bunun eski takvime dayalı olması sebebiyle 28 Haziran’a rastgeldiği üzerinde de durulmaktadır.

Around 3000 BCE in eastern #Europe, a Proto-Balto-Slavic #language started to diverge from #ProtoIndoEuropean.
