However, Parliament President Brnabic decided not to interrupt the session. 62 items, including numerous draft laws, were on the agenda on Tuesday. The assembly leader accused the opposition of being responsible for the turmoil. Parliament is only to take note of the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucevic, which was submitted on January 28, after all the proposed laws have been adopted.
