Parliamentary Speaker Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic told B92 that parliament would debate the report of the State Audit Institution (DRI) in March of next year. She said that the opposition’s initiative for the debate could reach the parliamentary agenda on March 1, because the proposal was not submitted under emergency procedures. MPs to debate audit report no sooner than March “Their proposal has to wait at least 15 days, and then we enter a period of emergency sessions when we cannot put it on the agenda, according to procedures,” Djukic-Dejanovic said. She added that the proposal could reach the agenda on March 1, when the regular spring sessions begin. “I made this to them [the opposition] suggestion in a timely manner. They simply have written, ‘under emergency procedures’, and I would have had to put it on the agenda,” the speaker explained said. All opposition parties, except the Serb Progressive Party (SNS), called for the DRI report on budget spending in 2008, which details irregularities in some ministries, to be discussed before the 2010 budget draft is debated in parliament. Ruling Democratic Party (DS) spokesperson Jelena Trivan said that the debate on the report is important because tax payers "have the right to know how their money is being spent". “We have nothing against debating the DRI report, if it is needed, because we think that Serbia is truly on the right path since we have the DRI for the first time and have its report, and it is good that the public is debating this report, and that everything is known about it,” Trivan said. The 2010 budget draft will be on the parliamentary agenda as of Friday. Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic (FoNet)
