SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Dear colleagues, we saw two consecutive deadly shootings in Serbia. The perpetrators of these indiscriminate attacks must be brought to justice. To the families and friends of all the victims, many of which were only children, the European Parliament extends its sincere condolences.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Our thoughts remain with the families of those killed and with the injured. I would ask you to stand for a moment of silence to commemorate those that we have lost.

Minute of silence for the two deadly shootings in Serbia.
