The fifth sitting, where the Local Self-Government Committee was supposed to discuss the Bill amending and modifying the Republic of Serbia 2009 Budget Law, was cancelled because the Minister of Finance, Diana Dragutinovic, failed to appear despite being invited.

The present Committee members decided not to discuss the decrease of local self-government transfer envisaged by the budget rebalance without a representative of the Ministry of Finance.

The sitting was chaired by the Committee Chairman, Jovan Palalic.
