President Milanovic calls for swift investigation
President Zoran Milanovic extended his condolences on Monday to the families of the people shot dead in a nursing home and called on the relevant authorities for a swift investigation and stricter control of firearm possession.
“I wish all those wounded a quick and safe recovery, and I thank the emergency medical services for their swift and organised response in rescuing those injured,” the president said, per a statement from his office.
