At the joint sitting held on 25 November, the National Assembly’s Defence and Internal Affairs Committee and the Security Committee of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska discussed the security situation in the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Srpska, legislative framework and the committees’ activities.
Marija Obradovic, Chairperson of the Defence and Internal Affairs Committee welcomed the colleagues from the Security Committee of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska, hoping for an intensification of cooperation between the two committees.
The Committees then proceeded to exchange experiences concerning their respective modes of operation.
Milanko Mihajlica, Chairman of the Security Committee of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska, explained the Committee’s mode of operation and activities, saying that, in terms of the security situation in the Republic of Srpska there are several thousand potential persons who could carry out or in some way be party to a terrorist attack, but despite these challenges the security situation is satisfactory. Mihajlica also added that the Committee was planning to soon organise gatherings against terrorism and organised crime and invited the members of the Defence and Internal Affairs Committee of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia to take part in them.
Mihajlica said that the Security Committee of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska models it work after the Defence and Internal Affairs Committee of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and wished that the two committees improve the existing relationship.
