A shooting and arson incident occurred in front of the National Assembly building in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, resulting in one person being injured. Serbian President Vučić stated that this was a terrorist attack.
On the 22nd, Serbian Health Minister Lončar stated at a press conference that an assailant opened fire on a group of people who had set up tents in front of the parliament building. These people advocate for keeping Serbian society functioning normally and oppose a nationwide lockdown. "The man was clearly trained; he fired multiple shots and later committed arson, setting the tents on fire."
The attack resulted in one person being seriously injured by gunfire. The victim was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and is in critical condition.
After the shooting incident, Vučić had to leave an event early. He described the incident as a terrorist attack.
The fire at the scene has been brought under control. Police have arrested a male suspect, and the case is under further investigation.
