The Decision obliges the Serbian government and other Serbian state bodies to pass necessary documents within 45 days and take measures aimed at the realisation of Serbia’s international and legal subjectivity as legal successor of Serbia-Montenegro.
The Decision primarily refers to execution of jurisdictions in the fields of foreign affairs and defence until necessary laws regulating foreign affairs and defence are passed.
The Decision has been passed in order to avoid any problems or conflict in the separation between Serbia as state successor and Montenegro, which proclaimed independence.
In accordance with the Constitutional Charter of Serbia-Montenegro, Serbia has become successor of the state union, which is why it is necessary to create political and legal grounds for Serbian state bodies to pass necessary documents.
Serbian parliament also confirmed that, in accordance with the Belgrade Agreement and the state union’s Constitutional Charter, Serbia has become heir of the state union and has fully inherited its international legal subjectivity and international documents, especially UN Security Council’s Resolution 1244.
Parliament has also concluded that Serbia’s legal system will be harmonised with principles on which legal systems of developed democratic states are based as well as with regulations and documents of the international community.
In the session, it was agreed that institutions in Serbia are built at a level that enables Serbia to successfully take part in European and international processes. An accelerated entry process of full membership into all international bodies and organisations, and especially the process of stabilisation and association with the EU, is undoubtedly Serbia's strategic and national goal, and basic groundwork for its realisation have already been created.
Parliament agreed that economic relations in Serbia are based on a market economy founded on free entrepreneurship, competition, protection of property and social justice and that Serbia is determined to develop peaceful and equal relations with other states, particularly neighbouring ones. It is also prepared to contribute to the efforts of the international community and EU to achieve political stability in the Balkan region, Europe and the entire world.
