Shots fired outside Serbian parliament, one man detained, local media report

Shots were fired outside Serbia's parliament building in Belgrade on Wednesday and one person was injured, local media reported.

A video posted on the NOVA media outlet, the location of which was confirmed by Reuters, showed armed security officers approaching a large tent outside parliament.

A few shots were fired and then a fire broke out inside the tent, one of several erected this year by supporters of President Aleksander Vucic during anti-government protests.


It was not clear who fired the shots or how the fire started.

Local police declined to comment.

NOVA said that one person was injured. N1 TV said a 57-year-old man was wounded by a gunshot and is in a stable condition.

Another video posted on X showed a man lying on the ground with his hands behind his back and surrounded by police officers.
