Fresh Elections

Serbian opposition lawmakers threw smoke grenades and tear gas inside parliament on March 4 to protest against the government and support ongoing demonstrations. The protests, initially sparked by a train station roof collapse that killed 15 people, have grown into the biggest challenge to President Aleksandar Vucic’s rule, drawing in students, teachers, and farmers. Chaos erupted in parliament as opposition members scuffled with security, injuring two lawmakers, including Jasmina Obradovic, who suffered a stroke. Protesters outside demanded a transitional government and fresh elections. The parliament was set to pass a university funding law and acknowledge Prime Minister Milos Vucevic’s resignation.
