Brawl erupts in Serbian parliament over railway station roof collapse

35

Scuffles broke out in the Serbian parliament on Monday after opposition legislators raised banners accusing the ruling coalition of trying to shirk responsibility for the collapse of a railway station roof that killed 15 people earlier this month.

Radomir Lazovic of the opposition Green-Left Front party placed a picture of a red hand captioned “you have blood on your hands” on the speaker’s platform, video footage from the N1 television station showed.

The health minister, Zatibor Loncar, approached him and started arguing. Other deputies rushed in front of the speaker’s platform shouting, pulling and hitting one another.

The opposition deputies shouted: “Killers, killers!”

Some held a picture of the president, Aleksandar Vucic with red hands up and a sign saying: “No one is to be blamed.”
