SERBIA: At least three lawmakers were injured today, one of them seriously, after chaotic scenes in Serbia’s parliament during which smoke bombs and flares were thrown.

They said this was illegal and that lawmakers should first confirm the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and his government.
