Serbia's Parliament Approves Law on Weapons and Ammunition

Serbia's National Assembly approved the proposed Law on Weapons and Ammunition, a key piece of legislation introduced by the government. Lawmakers voted 130 in favor, with 154 present in the chamber, marking the first of 18 items to be decided during the assembly's eighth extraordinary session.

The session, which began on July 6, also includes votes on amendments to the Law on Financing Political Activities and the Criminal Code. Other proposed legislation covers the legal status of international sports federations based in Serbia, anti-doping measures, parent-caregivers, integrated pollution prevention, and amendments to the Constitutional Court Law.

Additionally, the assembly will consider the ratification of protocols related to international road transport of goods and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Decisions are also expected on the internal organization of the Commissioner for Equality's office and the appointment of candidates for the Regulatory Body for Electronic Communications and Postal Services. Given the majority held by the ruling coalition, led by the Serbian Progressive Party, the passage of all agenda items is anticipated.
