Serbian opposition lawmakers threw smoke grenades and tear gas inside parliament on Tuesday, protesting against the government and supporting student-led demonstrations. Chaos erupted as lawmakers scuffled with security, leaving two injured, including SNS MP Jasmina Obradovic, who suffered a stroke. Protesters outside parliament honored 15 victims of a railway station collapse that sparked mass anti-government protests. Demonstrations, now in their fourth month, have grown to include teachers and farmers, posing the biggest challenge to President Aleksandar Vucic’s rule. Protest leaders plan a major rally in Belgrade on March 15, demanding justice and action against government corruption.
