Serbian parliamentarian throws shoes at colleague

27 Nov, 2009

A session of the Serbian parliament was interrupted Thursday when a member of the opposition Radical Party threw her shoes at the chairman of the parliamentary session, Belgrade media reported. The shoes missed their target but the session was interrupted for a short time.
Gordana Pop-Lazic from the ultranationalist Radical Party threw her shoes at Gordana Comic, from the ruling Democratic Party, because she was unhappy with Comic's decision not to allow another representative of the Radical Party to speak to the parliament. Pop-Lazic and other female members of the Radical Party are known for their extreme behaviour. Pop-Lazic cursed president Boris Tadic and his children after the Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic was arrested last year.
