The Constitutional Prosecutor in Belgrade has been urging police to collect necessary information about Tuesday's incident in Serbia's Parliament, in whose spaces the pyrotechnic and smoke bombs were dropped.

The incident in the Assembly Hall has occurred following opposition to the agenda approved by the ruling coalition.
Then, opposition deputies have left their seats and activated pyrotechnic tools.
The prosecution has made it known that it has ordered the collection of available evidence to identify the people who have brought and used the pyrotechnic tools, as well as to understand how they entered the Parliament building.
They also applied for definitions of the identity of persons who have reportedly thrown various objects and hurt MPs.
The ruling parties have approved the 62-point agenda, and have rejected the opposition's request to discuss only changes to the Law on Higher Education, through which the fourth requirement of students protesting for months is met.
Students continue to block over 60 faculties nationwide, with the requirement to determine criminal and political responsibility for the deaths of 15 people from the collapse of a concrete shelter at the Hekurudhor station in Novi Sad.
Initially, they have sought to publish all documentation concerning the reconstruction of the station to determine responsibility for the accident.
They have also sought the punishment of persons who have attacked students in protests, as well as the suspension of procedures against arrested protesters.
Students also demand a 20 percent increase in the budget for higher education.
Serbia's Parliament Speaker Anna Brnabyq has earlier announced that an agreement has been reached with representatives of all state universities for amendments to the Law on Higher Education has been met, and that this requirement of students will be met.
Power claims that other student demands have been met in addition to increased budgets.
Students, on the other hand, pledge that blockades and protests will continue and that expert groups will determine whether the requirements have been met or not. / REL/
