Parliament has had to adjourn after opposition Serb Radical Party (SRS) members refused to sit in the seats assigned to them by the Administrative Committee. Speaker Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic issued a number of warnings to the SRS after the party’s MPs refused to take up their designated seats in the newly refurbished chamber in the National Parliament building, before expelling them from the session and calling a 15-minute recess. Parliament: New venue, old problems After the recess, she suspended the session on the grounds that it was not possible to continue work under the prevailing conditions. Neither the move to the National Parliament, nor the impressive, fresh atmosphere were enough to restore a semblance of dignity to the work of the country’s highest legislative body. SRS MPs, all of them sporting T-shirts with the face of party leader Vojislav Seselj, refused to take up the seats allotted them by the Parliamentary Administrative Committee, and were asked to leave the session after receiving three verbal warnings. After they refused to leave the session, the speaker had no option but to suspend the day’s proceedings. There are 49 items on the session’s agenda, including the draft law on the appearance and use of the coat of arms, flag and national anthem, a set of laws in the field of ecology, as well as a draft law on political parties. The session got off to slow start initially because of problems with the new electronic voting system. The National Parliament building is home to the Serbian Constitutions of 1835 and 1990. Adoption of the law on the appearance and use of the coat of arms, flag and national anthem will legalize the symbols of statehood laid down by the new Constitution of November 2006.
