At the sitting held on 7 October, the Committee on Petitions and Proposals considered the Information on the petitions and proposals submitted in the period from June to September 2010.

The Committee Chairman pointed out that the number of petitions submitted in this period was much higher than in the previous which proves that the citizens address the National Assembly more often. Most of the petitions pertain to various areas, and a considerable number pertains to the work of judiciary and administrative bodies. In order to keep up to date with such a high number of petitions, the Committee Chairman proposed the creation of task groups within the Committee and suggested to soon organise a meeting between the Committee members and the citizens who had submitted petitions to the National Assembly.

Following the debate the Committee members unanimously adopted the Information along with the suggestions for the Committee’s work in future.

Endorsing the previously adopted proposal that some Committee sittings be held outside of the National Assembly, in one of the towns in Serbia, the Committee members agreed to hold the next Committee sitting in Nis.
