At the fifty-third sitting, held on 3 December, the Administrative Committee considered the Republic Electoral Commission Report on filling a vacant deputy seat. The Committee noted that the termination of term of office of deputy Dragan Vujadinovic, elected from the For European Serbia-Boris Tadic electoral list, left a vacant deputy seat at the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, in line with the provision of article 88 of the Law on the Election of Deputies.

Since the Committee members had ascertained that the conditions have been met to verify the term of office of deputy Slobodan Gojkovic, the Committee proposed that the National Assembly note the verification of the newly-elected deputy’s term of office.
