Secretary General Veljko Odalovic briefed the students on the National Assembly’s authority and manner of operation. The National Assembly’s work in the current convocation is very intensive which is evident from the 760 adopted legal acts and more than 200 decisions, stated Odalovic. The National Assembly also strengthened its control role as regards the Government and regulatory bodies which was achieved by amending the National Assembly Rules of Procedure. Parallel with its legislative and control function, the Assembly also worked on strengthening parliamentary diplomacy, stressed Odalovic.

The Secretary General spoke with the students about the relations between the Serbian branches of government, the electoral process and party system. The students showed interest in the current political situation in Serbia, particularly relating to Kosovo-Metohija, as well as regards gaining the status of candidate for European Union membership.
