Two MPs from Serbia's ruling Progressive Party are in hot water for monitoring separatist elections in eastern Ukraine.

Following opposition accusations about their actions in parliament, Progressive Party MP Zoran Babic said the two MPs went to the separatist headquarters of Donetsk as citizens and not as representatives of the Serbian parliament.

BELGRADE - Head of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) parliamentary group Zoran Babic said Tuesday that the party has put forward a bill on amendments to the Law on Financing of Political Parties, which would reduce the party funding by 35 percent.

Members of the parliament are to debate the bill on Thursday.

Tirana was shocked on Tuesday by reports of Monday night's massive shoot-out in a nightclub in which four people were killed.

Three Albanians, Edison Jaho, 36, Enea Xhaj, 38, Arbër Demiraj, 19, were found dead at the scene. A fourth victim, an Italian citizen, Giaampaolo Azzola, 53, lost his life from injuries in hospital on Tuesday morning, the police said.

As the quarrel between the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) over the Kurdish peace process continues to roil Ankara politics, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu expressed his government’s determination to continue the process but stressed it will “not allow any effort to disrupt the public order.”

Ruling party MPs served as observers in Donbass

Just a day after the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) complained of being the target of a political lynch campaign, a senior executive of the party was stabbed in downtown Ankara, deepening a rift with the government, while the prime minister interpreted the day-time attack as an indication showing the righteousness about their warnings about public order.
