The Government of Serbia has today sent the President of the Republic a
reasoned proposal for the dissolution of the People's Assembly and the
announcement of elections for deputies.
Holding new parliamentary elections under 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 thoughts and views for certain political, economic and other issues, including the further affirmation of European values, as announced by the government of Serbia.
In the proposal for the dissolution of the parliament, among other things,
it is stated that recently there have been demands from a part of the public
for the announcement of new, extraordinary elections for deputies and that on
September 11, 2023, a part of the opposition political parties presented a such
request to the President of the Republic.
The government, starting in the first place 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 review
the political power of the arguments, performances and plans of the past all
actors of the political scene and enable the citizens to freely express their
will in which direction the Republic of Serbia should move.
