National Assembly of Serbia (BETAPHOTO/National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia/Pedja Vuckovic)
After yesterday’s postponement, the National Assembly of Serbia’s Aug. 16 sitting regarding the opposition’s motion of no confidence in the current cabinet was again canceled due to a lack of quorum.
At 10 a.m., Deputy Parliament Speaker Marina Ragus, who chaired the meeting, announced that only 20 of the Assembly’s 250 representatives were present and that the parliament could, therefore, not operate.
Ragus stated that MPs will be informed of the next sitting date for the no confidence motion later on and recalled that another sitting was scheduled today to discuss 40 other items.
The motion of no confidence in the current cabinet and prime minister was submitted by 62 opposition representatives in February.
The first, unsuccessful, Aug. 16 sitting ended right after the national anthem, which was played to signal the – delayed – beginning of the Assembly’s spring session. Regime MPs left the hall as soon as the anthem ended, while there were not enough opposition MPs present to adopt the one-item agenda i.e. the discussion of the no confidence motion.
