National Assembly Secretary General - Statement

Regarding the statement of MP Marinika Tepic given to N1 television on 26 September of this year, I am obliged to react and point out that the aforementioned statement shows ignorance first of all of the Constitution, then of the Law on the National Assembly and the National Assembly Rules of Procedure and parliamentary procedures.

Namely, the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia Article 106 stipulates that the National Assembly meets in two regular sessions per year, that the first regular session begins on the first working day in March and the second on the first working day in October, and that it cannot exceed than 90 days. The same article of the Constitution stipulates that the National Assembly meets in an extraordinary session at the request of at least one third of the MPs or at the request of the Government, with a predetermined agenda.

Therefore, the Constitution makes a distinction between regular and extraordinary sessions of the National Assembly. By defining the start date of the regular sessions, a clear limit is set at which all activities in the extraordinary session must stop. This rule was consistently applied in all previous legislatures of the National Assembly and was never questioned. Otherwise, such an interpretation as presented by MP Tepic would mean that the regular session never has to start and that there is no difference between regular and extraordinary sessions.

I hope that this clarification and reminder will be useful first of all to MP Marinika Tepic, and also to the general public, to clarify the operation of the National Assembly and not succumb to inappropriate and unfounded accusations.

I would like to point out that the bills for which extraordinary sessions were requested are still in the parliamentary procedure.
