Serbia: New Parliament constitutive session scheduled for November 17
Ana Brnabic, the outgoing Speaker of the Serbian Parliament, has scheduled the constitutive session of the new 15th parliamentary assembly for Tuesday, November 17, at 10:00 AM. The session agenda includes the confirmation of mandates, the election of the Speaker and deputy speakers, the appointment of the General Secretary, and the formation of parliamentary committees and international delegations.
Until a new Speaker is elected, the session will be chaired by the oldest deputy, Professor Stojan Radenovic. Following the constitution of the Assembly, a 90-day period begins for the proposal and election of a new government.
Based on the election results from October 25, the Studentska Lista – Studenti Pobedujuza holds a majority with 140 mandates, while the Aleksandar Vučić – United Serbia coalition holds 103 mandates. Seven seats are allocated to national minority lists.
Within the Studentska Lista, discussions regarding the candidate for Speaker are ongoing. Professor Aleksandar Cupic has been proposed by students at the Faculty of Transport, though the final decision rests with student bodies. Meanwhile, economist and former National Bank of Serbia Governor Dejan Soskic, a candidate for the Studentska Lista, has expressed his intention to maintain a fixed exchange rate for the dinar once the party assumes executive power.
