BELGRADE - Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management Aleksandar Martinovic received Brazilian Ambassador to Belgrade Jose Mauro Couto on Tuesday, thanking the government and the friendly people of Brazil for the country's abstention in a vote on a UN General Assembly resolution on Srebrenica.

BELGRADE - Serbia's PM Designate Milos Vucevic announced on Tuesday he would request a parliament session for Wednesday, May 1, to present his government's programme and work plan to MPs and propose the cabinet members.

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic and members of her cabinet on Tuesday laid wreaths on the site where former Serbian PM Zoran Djindjic was assassinated 21 years ago.

BELGRADE - In an official statement, Serbia's Ministry of Public Administration and Self-Government on Monday reiterated "clearly and unequivocally" that the Unified Electoral Roll was one of the most up-to-date records in the Republic of Serbia and more orderly than ever, and noted that claims about the existence of ghost voters were absolutely untrue and represented blanket allegations.

"It is inadmissible to expose our citizens to a health risk. A gathering of 5.790 SNS supporters and about 64 supporters of the "Dveri" movement is being held about a hundred meters from here," he said, emphasizing that he did not state that in order to brag.
He said that we do not need counting, but unity.

The leader of the small far-right opposition Dveri movement, Bosko Obradovic, on Monday vowed to continue the hunger strike that he started on Sunday in front of parliament until the government negotiates with the opposition on a delay to elections due on June 21.

Opposition MPs Miladin Sevarlic and Dveri leader Bosko Obradovic began a hunger strike, and two SNS MPs, Aleksandar Martinovic and Sandra Bozic, joined in front of the National Assembly on Sunday.

This was decided today by the Serbian Parliament.
Deputies voted for amendments to the law on the election of MPs and local elections, submitted by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) parliamentary group, which, among other things, provide for a reduction in census.

Accompanied by MP Ivan Kostic, Obradovic entered the hall during the session, with a large banner against the Montenegrin authorities, and stood by the speaker's stand, causing disturbance that followed. Then, the President of the Serbian Assembly Maja Gojkovic adjourned the session and called on the MPs and security for peace and to remain calm.

The legislation is named after a teenager abducted and murdered several years ago, and aims to introduce life sentence for those found guilty of committing the most serious crimes.
