Lawmakers brawl in Serbia parliament amid accusations over train station roof collapse that killed 15 people

Scuffles and fistfights between ruling party and opposition lawmakers broke out in Serbia's parliament on Monday, weeks after a deadly rail station roof collapse that ignited tensions in the Balkan state.

The opposition wanted to discuss who is responsible for the crash that killed 15 people at the station in the northern city of Novi Sad on Nov. 1, while governing officials, who have a majority in Serbia's legislature, sought to adopt a bill on next year's state budget.

The opposition displayed a banner showing a red handprint reading "blood is on your hands," while the ruling party responded with a banner accusing the opposition of wanting "war while Serbia wants to work."
