MPs will not vote today on the proposal by President Jakov Milatović to elect Predrag Krstonijević as a judge of the Constitutional Court.
This was confirmed to "Vijesti" by several parliamentary groups.
According to information from "Vijesti", the head of parliament, Andrija Mandić, asked for more time to continue the talks.
Seven days ago, on February 10, the Assembly established the agenda for an extraordinary session, scheduled at Milatović's request, in which they are to vote again on his proposal.
The agenda was then adopted unanimously, by the votes of 50 deputies.
"Fifty is a number that is higher than enough to elect a judge of the Constitutional Court," said Parliament Speaker Andrija Mandić at the time, adding that MPs would vote on the president's proposal at a later date.
Krstonijević did not receive the required majority in the first round of voting, on December 31, 2025. At that time, 25 MPs supported his election, while 20 abstained. The election of a Constitutional Court judge requires a qualified majority, i.e. the support of two-thirds of all MPs (at least 54 votes) in the first round.
In the second round of voting, he needs the support of three-fifths of MPs, or 49 votes.
