The Assembly will not continue its work today, because Parliament Speaker Andrija Mandić (New Serbian Democracy) said that, due to the situation in Botun, he cannot chair the session.
He said that his party's MPs would not be in the hall either, but he offered the deputy speakers of the Assembly to lead the session so that the parliament could continue to work, sources told Vijesti.
However, the deputies of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) said at the collegium that they would not "patch up the holes" of the majority and would not provide a quorum for the new session, which was supposed to include around 30 items.
According to announcements from the Assembly, the Ninth Session of the Second Regular (Autumn) Session in 2025 was to be held today, and the Daily Trend was to be announced at the session.
There was speculation that one of the items should be the Draft Law on the Assembly, which, according to unofficial information, was prepared in cooperation with the opposition.
According to "Vijesti", the law on the Parliament will include provisions on MPs' pensions or allowances, which could amount to around two thousand euros. The law on the Parliament also reportedly stipulates that Mandić has the authority to award decorations.
"Vijesti" recently announced that the Europe Now Movement (PES) has certain reservations about the proposed document.
PES MP Tonći Janović wrote on social media three days ago that PES does not have 'certain reservations', but is against such a law.
"Just so there is no doubt. The call to work for the benefit of citizens, not for the benefit of personal privileges, seems to be misinterpreted by someone. We were elected to the Parliament to work for the public interest, not to vote on laws that are measured by personal gain, decorations or future pensions," Janović said.
