Chaos erupted inside the Serbian parliament as opposition lawmakers protested against the government, supporting students demonstrating outside. They used smoke bombs and flares, resulting in injuries, including a lawmaker suffering a stroke. This coincides with ongoing student-led protests against perceived government corruption and incompetence. The Speaker continued proceedings amidst the turmoil, while opposition members called for a general strike. Outside, protesters honored victims of a recent tragedy which has amplified calls for justice and reform, underscoring the escalating tension within Serbian politics as President Vucic faces increasing opposition.
Inside the parliament, opposition members also held signs reading General strike, and Justice for the killed, while outside the building, protesters stood in silence to honour 15 people killed by a railway station roof collapse.
As the spring session of parliament opened, opposition politicians ran out of their seats towards the parliamentary speaker and scuffled with security guards, showing deep unrest.
