Chaos in Serbian Parliament: flares and smoke bombs interrupt session

Serbia's Parliament experienced moments of maximum tension when flares and smoke bombs were launched inside the building, interrupting a crucial session in which high-impact political issues were being discussed.

Footage from the session shows a thick cloud of smoke filling the hall as MPs tried to continue the debate amid chaos. Some opposition members claimed the incident was provoked by radical lawmakers in an attempt to sabotage the parliamentary session.

The incident comes amid growing political instability in Serbia, where the opposition has denounced irregularities in recent elections and organised mass protests against the government of President Aleksandar Vučić.

Police and emergency services were called to the scene to restore order, while the government condemned the act as an "attack on democracy". No serious injuries have been reported, but the event underlines the deep political crisis facing the country.

Serbian authorities are expected to take steps to investigate the incident and strengthen security at parliament in the face of the risk of further violence.
