At least three MPs were injured on Tuesday due to chaos that erupted in the Serbian parliament, where smoke bombs and fireworks were thrown, according to the German news agency (DPA).<\/p>\n
The MPs were set to vote on a law that would increase funding for higher education, but opposition parties insisted that the session was illegal and that Prime Minister Milo\u0161 Vu\u010devi\u0107 and his government\u2019s resignation should first be confirmed.
\nThe incident reflects a deep political crisis within the Balkan state, where anti-corruption protests that lasted for months have shaken the populist government.
\nVu\u010devi\u0107 resigned in January, as the authorities faced violent protests following the collapse of a concrete canopy in northern Serbia in November, which led to the death of 15 people. Critics attributed the incident to government corruption.<\/p>\n
