The cleaners had scrubbed the debating chamber clean before MPs arrived for Wednesday's session in Serbia's National Assembly. Spent smoke bombs, smears of egg yolk and a dusting of white fire extinguisher powder had all been removed from the benches and tables after the mayhem of the previous day.

The Serbian parliament erupted into chaos Tuesday as opposition lawmakers set off smoke grenades and other countermeasures to block last-minute passage of a series of laws initiated by the outgoing government.

At least three Serbian lawmakers were injured after chaos erupted in Serbia's parliament, where smoke bombs and flares were thrown.
