Perspective
The fourteenth convocation started its constitutive session on 6 February 2024, at which the mandates of the elected members of the National Assembly were confirmed.[11] It continued on 18 March and lasted until 20 March.[12] During the constitutive session, the president of the National Assembly, vice-presidents of the National Assembly, general secretary of the National Assembly, and members of working bodies of the National Assembly were elected.[3][11] Members of permanent parliamentary delegations in international institutions were also elected.[3][11]
After Miloš Vučević was given the mandate to form a government by Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia, the National Assembly elected him and his cabinet at a special session on 2 May.[13] The first extraordinary session of the fourteenth convocation began on 23 July.[14][15] The agenda of the session had 60 points.[14] During the session, Brnabić issued a warning to Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta.[16]
The second extraordinary session began on 23 September and ended on 30 September.[17][18] During the first session of the second regular session, Brnabić and SNS MP Nebojša Bakarec used profanity against opposition members; Bakarec called Zdravko Ponoš an "Ustaša garbage" (đubre jedno ustaško).[19][20] Kovács, who presided over the session that day, declined to censure Bakarec.[20] The official transcript from the session redacted Bakarec's profanity.[21]
A session on 4 March 2025 was interrupted, and 3 MPs were injured,[22] as opposition members threw flares in protest at a delay in the resignation of the Cabinet of Miloš Vučević.[23]
On 16 April 2025, the National Assembly elected the cabinet of Đuro Macut.[24]
