Riots broke out in the Serbian National Assembly today as members of the opposition and ruling coalition engaged in a physical confrontation accompanied by the use of pyrotechnics, including fireworks and smoke bombs.
The incident took place amid tense debate over amendments to the education law, which had previously sparked mass protests across the country. Opposition MPs opposed the approval of the agenda, demanding a review of the proposed changes. In their opinion, the discussion process violates democratic procedures and infringes on the rights of citizens.
In response to the protest, some MPs used pyrotechnics, which led to clashes in the meeting room. As a result, the session was temporarily suspended.
The aggravation of the situation in the parliament reflects the general increase in political tension in Serbia. It is expected that protests, which have already taken place in major cities, may intensify in the coming days.
