The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) will propose a candidate for the vice-president of the Assembly, a position that belongs to them as the largest opposition party.
That's what Andrija Nikolić, head of the DPS Parliamentary Club, told "Vijesta".
"We will very soon propose a vice-president of the Assembly", Nikolić said without revealing who it was.
According to the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, at least one vice-president is elected from the opposition and from among the less represented sex, and one from the minority parties.
Amendments to the Rules of Procedure are in the parliamentary procedure, and if they are adopted, the number of vice-presidents from minority parties will increase to two. Amendments to the Rules of Procedure are on the agenda of today's extraordinary session.
Amendments to the Rules of Procedure were supported yesterday by the majority of votes by the Legislative Committee, on the proposal of a group of representatives of the parliamentary majority.
DON'T MISS IT
In the proposal for changes to the Rules of Procedure, it is written that they can be legally justified by "the need to ensure equal rights, promote democratic principles and align with international standards for the protection of minority rights".
"In addition, this amendment can contribute to greater efficiency and inclusion in the work of the Assembly, enables better representation of the specific interests of minorities and contributes to the strengthening of social cohesion," reads the proposal signed by MPs Vasilije Čarapić (Movement Evropa Sad), Dejan Đurović (New Serbian Democracy). , Boris Bogdanović (Democrats), Milan Knežević (Democratic People's Party), Bogdan Božović (Socialist People's Party) and Nikola Camaj (Albanian Forum).
At the Committee session yesterday, Čarapić said that there is an agreement within the parliamentary majority and this shows their strength, which almost has two-thirds of support "which no one has had before".
"And we want to implement that strength and send a message that we are here for big things", said Čarapić in response to the question of Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) MP Oskar Huter "why two (vice presidents) at most, why not four at most".
Huter said that it was clear to everyone that this was an ordinary sale of armchairs, "so that everyone on that train would find a place to sit".
If the amendments to the Rules of Procedure and the Proposal to amend the decision on the number of vice-presidents are adopted by the Assembly, the current convocation of the parliament would have five, instead of the four vice-presidential positions established.
