A session of Serbia’s parliament erupted into chaos after smoke bombs and flares were ignited inside the chamber, disrupting proceedings and forcing lawmakers to evacuate. The incident, which occurred amid rising political tensions, has raised concerns about the escalating unrest in the country.
According to officials, the disturbances began when unidentified individuals set off smoke devices, filling the chamber with thick clouds and temporarily halting parliamentary debates. Security personnel quickly intervened, but the disruptions further fueled an already volatile political atmosphere.
Lawmakers from opposing factions have been locked in heated disputes over key legislative proposals, with protests intensifying both inside and outside the government building. Authorities have not yet confirmed who was responsible for the chaotic scene, but investigations are underway to determine if the act was politically motivated or intended as an act of protest.
The incident underscores growing divisions within Serbia’s political landscape, with demonstrations over governance and policy decisions becoming more frequent. As authorities work to restore order and identify those involved, officials are urging for calm and a return to constructive political dialogue to prevent further escalation.
