Serbian Parliament Erupts in Chaos as Opposition Protests Intensify

Smoke grenades, flares, and clashes disrupt parliamentary session as anti-corruption protests grip the nation following a deadly construction collapse.

Opposition lawmakers set off smoke grenades, flares, and tear gas during a Serbian parliamentary session, injuring at least three MPs, one critically.
The protests stem from public outrage over a fatal railway station roof collapse in Novi Sad last November, which killed 15 people and sparked allegations of corruption.
Student-led demonstrations have demanded accountability, lower tuition fees, and increased education funding, with parliament debating a bill addressing some of these demands.
Prime Minister Milos Vucevic resigned in January under pressure from the protests, but his resignation has not yet been formally confirmed by parliament.
Protesters and opposition leaders are calling for a transitional government and free elections, while the government accuses foreign powers of backing the unrest.
