Government sends to president proposal for disbanding parliament

Belgrade, 30 October 2023

Today, the government of the Republic of Serbia sent a reasoned proposal to the President of the Republic to dissolve the National Assembly and call elections for deputies.

Holding new parliamentary elections in the existing circumstances would ensure a higher degree of democracy, reducing the tensions created between opposing options in society, rejecting exclusivity and hate speech and affirming the right to freely express opinions and views on certain political, economic and other issues, including further affirmation of European values.

The proposal for the dissolution of the parliament, inter alia, states that recently there have been requests from a section of the public to call for new, extraordinary elections for deputies, and that on 11 September 2023, part of the opposition political parties submitted such a request to the President of the Republic.

The government, starting primarily from this request, took the position that the implementation of the electoral process, as one of the basic postulates of a democratic society, would be a good opportunity to assess the political strength of the arguments, past performances and plans of all actors on the political scene and to enable citizens to freely express their will in which direction the Republic of Serbia should move.

Also, at the session, government members made decisions on the dissolution of the Assembly of the City of Belgrade and the formation of the Provisional Body of the City of Belgrade, and the same decisions were made for another 64 cities and local self-governments in Serbia.
