The constitutive session will be chaired by the oldest deputy, Milan Lekić from the ZBCG coalition, and assisted by the youngest, Mirko Đukić from PES.

 

According to the latest information, the parliament will most likely not get a new head today because the potential constituents of the future government have not reached an agreement on it.

This means that it is most realistic that at the constitutive session, after it is established that the mandate of the newly elected deputies has begun, there will be a break, so that the new leadership of the Assembly can be elected later.

The agenda of the constituent session includes the determination of the number of vice-presidents and the election of the vice-president of the Assembly, as well as the election of the president and members of the Administrative Board.
