Parliament Reconsiders Veterinary Law Amendment Following Forecasts
Belgrade – Despite earlier forecasts of postponement, the Serbian parliament yesterday held a special session to consider an amendment to veterinary law submitted by the Resnica parliamentary group. The session resulted in a vote of 47 in favor and 32 against, signaling continued debate surrounding the proposed changes. The amendment, which was initially slated for consideration after the summer parliamentary break, was the subject of a recent announcement from the coalition.
However, deputies ultimately decided to proceed with a direct vote. Zoran Stevanović, a key figure in the discussion, stated that the decision was “normal,” referencing a prior vote at the DZ President’s College. He explained that a divergent outcome between the College and the parliamentary session would have created a “schizophrenic” process.
Katja Kokot, the head of the Resnica parliamentary group, was present at the session. Information regarding her specific role within the group is currently unconfirmed. The debate centers on the proposed amendment within the parliamentary procedure.
The vote highlights the ongoing consideration of the veterinary amendment and underscores the complexities of the legislative procedure. Further developments are anticipated following this session.
