Serbia opposition disrupts parliament with flares, tear gas
2 years agoThis frame grab from handout video footage taken and released by the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia in Belgrade on March 4, 2025 shows Serbian opposition lawmakers lighting flares and discharging suspected tear gas during the opening day of the spring session of parliament in a sign of support for ongoing anti-corruption protests. The footage shared online showed opposition members holding colourful flares and throwing what appeared to be smoke cannisters during the legislative session. Serbia has been rocked for months by student-led anti-corruption protests following the fatal collapse of a train station roof last year that killed 15 people.
