Serbian Parliament Session Continues Tuesday After Debating Judicial Laws

The National Assembly of Serbia concluded its session on Monday evening and is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, June 23. Lawmakers engaged in discussions on a substantial agenda comprising 32 items, notably including proposed amendments to several judicial laws. These legal revisions have become a focal point of contention, with starkly contrasting viewpoints emerging between the ruling majority and the opposition.

The judicial laws in question were previously adopted based on proposals from Uglješa Mrdić, a lawmaker from the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). Their initial adoption faced opposition from segments of the public and political parties. Following an assessment by the Venice Commission regarding these legal acts, they have been reintroduced to the current session with modifications.

Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabić informed the assembly that the session would restart at 10:00 AM on Tuesday. She also stated that she awaits a report from the General Secretariat to determine if Miloš Parandilović, a lawmaker from the Novo lice Srbije party, was indeed present in Parliament the previous day, or if another lawmaker used his parliamentary card to register attendance. Brnabić indicated that if the allegations prove true, both lawmakers would be held accountable, expressing suspicion that the act might have been intended to claim travel expenses.

Earlier, Aleksandar Mirković of the SNS mentioned that individuals from Priboj had informed him of Parandilović's presence in that city. The 32 agenda items also encompass proposed amendments to laws concerning the Public Prosecutor's Office, judges, the High Prosecutorial Council, and the seats and jurisdictions of courts and public prosecutor's offices. Additionally, the agenda includes changes to laws on high-tech crime, human cells and tissues, and human organ transplantation. Other items on the agenda are a bill to amend the law on establishing a guarantee scheme and subsidizing interest rates for young people buying their first homes, and a bill to ratify a sectoral agreement between the Serbian government and the European Commission concerning financial assistance from the EU for rural development programs (IPARD III).
