At least three lawmakers sustained injuries during a chaotic session in Serbia’s parliament on Tuesday, where smoke bombs, flares, eggs, and water bottles were thrown. One lawmaker remains in serious condition, according to officials.
The disturbance erupted about an hour after the session began. Lawmakers were scheduled to vote on a bill that would increase funding for university education, but opposition parties argued that the session was illegal and insisted on confirming the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and his government before proceeding. Video footage from the assembly hall captured the initial clash between lawmakers, which quickly escalated into a full-scale disruption.
Opposition members were seen blowing whistles and displaying a banner with the message “Serbia has risen so the regime would fall!” Parliament speaker Ana Brnabic condemned the actions, accusing the opposition of forming a “terrorist gang.” The incident has underscored the deep political crisis gripping the country, which has been rattled by months-long anti-corruption protests and ongoing public discontent with the populist government.
