MPs adopted the Law on Games of Chance, which introduces a large number of innovations in this industry, such as the abolition of concessions and the transition to issuing permits to organizers, increasing most fees by 50 percent, introducing new fees, limiting advertising, and introducing player registration.

47 MPs voted and all were in favor. The accompanying conclusion of the Committee on Economy, Finance and Budget was also adopted.

The Law on the Implementation of Support Measures for Agricultural Policy, Rural Development and Fisheries, as well as the Law on Business Companies, also received support.

New Serbian Democracy MPs submitted five amendments to the Law on Business Companies, but none were accepted, and in addition to these, the Democrats' amendment was not accepted either.

Amendments to the Law on Olive Growing and Olive Oil also received the green light. Bosniak Party MP Edina Dešić pointed out that they submitted two amendments relating to the olive grove register and the conditions for entry into it, while the second relates to the permission for olive grove owners to build residential buildings in them. Both received the support of MPs.

The Parliament also voted on amendments to the Law on Financing Local Self-Government.
