Opposition Lets Off Smoke Grenades In Serbian Parliament

SERBIA – Chaos erupted in Serbia’s parliament as opposition lawmakers set off smoke grenades and tear gas in protest against government policies, in support of student demonstrators.

What started as outrage over a deadly train station collapse has grown into a major challenge for the government.

Tensions hit a boiling point when opposition MP’s scuffled with security and filled the chamber with smoke. The speaker confirmed two lawmakers were injured, one critically.

Despite the mayhem, parliament pushed ahead with plans to increase university funding.
