Over in Serbia
At least three lawmakers were injured on Tuesday when opposition politicians protesting against the government and expressing support for ongoing student-led demonstrations threw smoke bombs and let off tear gas.
Parliament on the day was set to confirm Prime Minister Milos Vucevic's resignation and vote on the dismissal of Speaker Ana Brnabic.
The scenes come as protesters in Serbia have shown discontent with the country's hardline President Aleksandr Vucic with allegations of corruption which escalated after a railway station roof collapsed and killed 15 people last November.
The Vucic administration has responded to the protests with a mix of crackdowns and concessions.
Following the unrest, Brnabic declared that "Serbia's parliament will not back down" and condemned the lawmakers who disrupted the session, calling them "terrorists."
