The Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) announced this morning that last night's bomb threat report at the Serbian Parliament was false, Beta reports.
According to the statement, members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs completed an inspection of the National Assembly after it was reported that a bomb had been placed in the building.
"Counter-subversion teams, which were immediately dispatched to the scene, determined that the report was false, and no suspicious objects were found during the inspection of the National Assembly," the statement reads.
Due to a bomb threat, police searched the Serbian Parliament last night, following a day of sessions marked by numerous incidents.
Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić said on Tuesday evening that a bomb had been reported to have been placed in the Serbian parliament building, and that police counter-sabotage teams would therefore conduct a complete inspection of the building.
"At around 20.47:192 p.m., the 'XNUMX' system reported that a bomb had been placed in the National Assembly. Counter-sabotage teams were immediately dispatched to conduct a complete inspection of this facility," Dacic said last night, Beta reports.
One of the leaders of the Serbian opposition, Vice President of the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) Marinika Tepić, expressed doubts about the aforementioned tip that same evening.
Tepić assessed on the social network Xks that they were "transparent as cellophane" and, as she stated, "the cheapest".
"A while ago, 'it was reported that a bomb was planted in the Serbian Parliament, teams are on the ground'. On the ground, in translation, means they came up with this to raid all our offices tonight and blow them up! And without our presence, they can plant it?!" added Tepić, who is also an MP.

At least three members of parliament were injured yesterday during a chaotic session of the Serbian parliament during which smoke bombs and other pyrotechnics were thrown. The session was not interrupted, however, and ruling coalition members continued to speak while opposition members blew vuvuzelas and held a banner reading “Serbia rises up to bring down the regime.”
Despite the chaos, the debate continued, and the session ended at 18 p.m. The session is scheduled to continue today.
