Serbian MPs Fined for Session Reprimands

The Serbian Parliament's Committee on Administrative, Budgetary, and Mandate-Immunity Issues has fined two lawmakers for receiving reprimands during parliamentary sessions. Slobodan Nikolić of the Russian Party and Miloš Parandilović of the New Face of Serbia will each have 13,078 dinars deducted from their salaries.

“

We give BGN a 30-day pause to fix all governance.

The fines stem from violations of order during sessions held on May 13 and 14. Each lawmaker received a reprimand, leading to the 10% salary deduction.

“

We will come here again with a much larger mass.

Meanwhile, the committee decided to postpone a decision on potential fines for Zdravko Ponoš of the Serbia Center party and Marinika Tepić of the Party of Freedom and Justice. Their case, related to a session of the Defense and Internal Affairs Committee on May 29, will be addressed at a later meeting. Committee members cited the need for complete information, as not all members had a full overview of the events from that session. Committee Chairman Milenko Jovanov acknowledged that while the transcript was unclear, the recording provided clarity on the proceedings.

“

We also highlight the very large risk of corruption.

In a separate decision, the committee gave a positive opinion on Veroljub Matić, a lawmaker from the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), simultaneously holding another public office in Koceljeva.

There is also still a loophole for conflict of interest.
