National Assembly Secretary Veljko Odalovic presented diplomas to the senior year students of arts faculties who had attended the National Assembly’s Internship Program last year.

Presenting the diplomas, signed by the National Assembly Speaker on the behalf of the National Assembly, the Secretary expressed his pleasure that the interns had been part of the National Assembly for the past nine months, lending a special quality to its work. He emphasised that by serving as interns at the National Assembly the students had the opportunity to fully comprehend the functioning of the state’s highest legislative institution, adding that he hoped the knowledge they gained in their internship would be beneficial to their future professional life. He told the interns that the National Assembly’s doors were open for their future interest, even potential professional engagement.

Deputy and Chairman of the Legislative Committee Vlatko Ratkovic, who was one of the students’ mentors during the internship programme, told the interns that the time they had spent at the National Assembly was both a privilege and a challenge to learn about legislative procedures. He stated that the National Assembly was a place where laws were passed, as well as a place of control over the executive government that cooperated with the regulatory bodies and enjoyed considerable international activity. He thanked the interns for the engagement adding that he believed they would use the knowledge acquired during the internship Programme in their future professional endeavours.

The National Assembly Internship Programme has been successfully implemented for seven years and has so far been attended by more than a 100 students. The practice for 12 interns, seniors of the faculties of law, economy and political sciences, lasted from 4 May 2009 to 4 January 2010. The Programme included introduction into the operation of the National Assembly and legislative processes. Depending on their interest, the students were assigned to departments, committees or deputy groups where, with the assistance of their mentors, they acquired varied practical knowledge and experience. As in the previous years, the interns exhibited considerable independence and initiative in their work, launching and realising ideas and projects as well.
