Major chaos erupted Tuesday in the Serbian parliament as part of the anti-government protest that continues to sweep the country. Opposition members set off smoke bombs in the plenary hall, made noise with noisemakers, and held signs reading "Serbia is rising up – until the regime falls."

The incident occurred while protests continued in Serbia surrounding the November 2024 collapse of a roof at the Novi Sad train station that led to the death of 15 people. The widespread protest in the country has already led to the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević. In recent days, tens of thousands of students have been demonstrating in the capital Belgrade against President Aleksandar Vučić.

The massive demonstrations in the country have now become almost daily, and now, the pressure is on President Vučić to resign and call for new elections. On Monday, Vučić was forced to apologize for calling a journalist an "imbecile" and accusing him of being politically motivated.
The president also claimed that he's a victim of an "unconstitutional" attempt organized by the West to remove him from office. He called the protesters against him a minority, their demands fake, and said that blocking roads and highways is illegal.
