Professor Čupić Proposed by Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering Students for Serbian Parliament Speak

Students at the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering plan to nominate Professor Aleksandar Čupić, known for his speeches at student rallies, according to Nova.rs.

After outgoing Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabić scheduled the inaugural session for Tuesday, November 17, it was announced that the Student List would also reveal its candidate for Speaker.

On the same day, Dejan Šoškić, former governor of the National Bank of Serbia and an MP-elect from the "Student List – Students Win", said the student movement would announce its nominee for the position.

Until the final announcement, individual faculties will submit their proposals, which will then be put to a vote.

According to Nova.rs, students at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering in Belgrade have proposed Professor Aleksandar Čupić for the highest position in Parliament.

A document seen by Nova.rs states that "student plenums are currently discussing the procedures for selecting parliamentary officials and forming the government".

The faculty's document specifically names "Professor Aleksandar Čupić as the proposed candidate for Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia".

"The students will decide on the candidate once they have reached a final decision. I am not familiar with the proposals, so I cannot comment on the position in question. It is best to wait for the students," Čupić told Nova.rs
