STUDENTS AND RULING PARTY MEMBERS AT THE SAME TABLE TODAY: Consultations begin ahead of the formation of the new parliament, Students’ List sets clear conditions!

Consultations between representatives of the electoral lists have been scheduled for today, November 13, at noon, ahead of the inaugural session of the newly elected Serbian Parliament, which has been called for Tuesday, November 17.

The Serbian Parliament has 250 seats, of which 140 will belong to the Students’ List, which won the snap parliamentary elections held on October 25.

The “United Serbia” list, backed by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), won 103 seats, while the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians and the Albanian Coalition secured two seats each.

The “People’s” list led by Rasim Ljajić, the list of the Party of Justice and Reconciliation, and the list of the Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak each won one seat.

The Beta news agency was told last night that delegations from the Students’ List, the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians and the Albanian Coalition would attend the consultations. Aleksandar Vučić, the lead candidate of the “United Serbia” list, had announced his attendance earlier.

“Our delegation will act in accordance with the agreement reached within the Students’ List (SL) and the Student Movement (SP),” Ilija Srdanović, the top candidate on the “Students’ List – Students Are Winning” electoral ticket, said briefly.

“It will not become a venue for political deals behind closed doors”

Mario Reljanović and Aleksandar Čupić, representatives of the “Students’ List – Students Are Winning,” will take part in a consultative meeting with representatives of the other lists that will make up the new Serbian National Assembly, the students subsequently announced.

“Our participation is limited to technical and organizational matters necessary to ensure that the inaugural session is held efficiently,” they stated on their website.

They explained that this meant reaching agreements on the seating arrangements for parliamentary groups, setting the agenda and determining who would preside over the session, including identifying the oldest member of parliament who will chair it.

“We are aware of the political context and the identities of the people with whom we will be speaking. That is why we want to make this clear in advance: consultations on technical matters will not become a venue for political deals or negotiations behind closed doors,” the students emphasized.

“Citizens have the right to know what we are doing on their behalf”

They also announced that they would “stick to the clearly defined framework for the discussions” and that “the public will be informed in a timely manner about everything agreed upon and about the course of the meeting itself.”

They stressed that “the new parliamentary term must begin in accordance with established procedures” and “with a clear message that political decisions are made responsibly and in full public view.”

“The trust we received in the elections means that citizens have the right to know what we are doing on their behalf,” the students said in their statement.

The President of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians, Balint Pastor, and the representative of the Albanian Coalition, Šaip Kamberi, who is also the president of the Party for Democratic Action (PDD), confirmed to the Beta news agency that they would attend the consultations.
