From AFP News Agency.
Serbian opposition lawmakers have lit flares and discharged suspected tear gas during the opening day of the spring session of parliament, in a sign of support for ongoing anti-corruption protests. Serbia has been rocked for months by student-led anti-corruption protests following the fatal collapse of a train station roof last year that killed 15 people. The movement has put increasing pressure on the Serbian government and President Aleksandar Vucic, spurring the resignation of several high-ranking officials, including the prime minister in January. The collapse of the station roof in Novi Sad in November followed extensive renovations to the building. It ignited long-simmering anger in the country over corruption and the alleged lack of oversight for construction and development projects. Protesters have called for another large rally to be held in the capital Belgrade on 15 March.
