BELGRADE, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — A shooting and arson attack occurred in front of the Serbian parliament building in Belgrade on Wednesday, leaving one person injured.
Serbian Health Minister Zlatibor Lončar announced at a press conference that the attacker opened fire on a group of people who had set up tents in front of the parliament building. The group was advocating for the normal functioning of society and against a nationwide lockdown.
