This morning, the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) confirmed that the bomb threat reported at the Serbian Parliament last night was unfounded, according to Beta.

The Ministry stated that its members conducted a thorough inspection of the National Assembly after receiving reports of a bomb being planted in the building.

“Counter-subversion teams were quickly sent to the location and they found the report to be false; no suspicious objects were discovered during the inspection of the National Assembly,” the statement detailed.

The police carried out a search of the Serbian Parliament last night in response to the bomb threat, which followed a day filled with several disturbances during sessions.

Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić indicated on Tuesday evening that police were alerted to a bomb allegedly placed in the parliament building, prompting a comprehensive inspection by counter-sabotage teams.

“At approximately 20:47 p.m., the ‘XNUMX’ system indicated a bomb threat in the National Assembly. Counter-sabotage teams were immediately deployed for a full inspection of the premises,” Dacic stated last night, as reported by Beta.

Marinika Tepić, Vice President of the opposition Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP), expressed skepticism about the authenticity of the bomb threat in a post on social media that evening.

Tepić described the situation as “transparent as cellophane” and, according to her, “the cheapest.” She remarked, “Not long ago, it was reported that a bomb had been placed in the Serbian Parliament, and response teams were dispatched. ‘On the ground’ means they concocted this to raid our offices tonight and reverse the situation. Can they plant something without our presence?!” Tepić, who is also an MP, added.

During a tumultuous session of the Serbian parliament yesterday, at least three members of parliament sustained injuries due to smoke bombs and other fireworks being thrown. Despite the disruptions, the session continued, with ruling coalition members speaking while opposition members used vuvuzelas and displayed a banner that read “Serbia rises up to bring down the regime.”

Even amidst the turmoil, the discussion persisted, and the session concluded at 18 p.m., with plans to resume today.
