The government declared a one-month amnesty period for citizens to surrender unregistered weapons as part of a crackdown on guns following the two shootings in two days this month that left 17 people dead, many of them children.

Officials said residents had turned over about 13,500 items since the amnesty opened on May 8.

Officials plan to order inspections of registered addresses "to check whether there exist conditions for safekeeping," anti-crime department officer Bojana Otovic Pjanovic said on Serbian state TV network RTS. "If not, the guns will be taken away and punishment will be rigorous."

Registration leads to confiscation.
