Tear Gas, Flares In Serbia’s Parliament As Opposition Protests Fatal Collapse of Train Station Roof

Opposition lawmakers threw flares and smoke grenades inside the Serbian parliament in a show of support for student-led protests in recent months. Demonstrations sparked by a train station roof collapse that killed 15 people four months ago, have turned into the biggest threat yet to the Serbian government. Lawmakers were scheduled to vote on a law that would increase funding for university education, but opposition parties said the ruling majority was also planning to approve dozens of other decisions. They said this was illegal and that lawmakers should first confirm the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and his government. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
