The National Assembly of Serbia (Serbian: Народна скупштина Србије / Narodna skupština Srbije) is the unicameral parliament of Serbia. The Assembly Speaker (officially President of the Assembly) is Slavica Đukić Dejanović since 25 June 2008.
[edit] History
The first Act of the National Assembly of Serbia was passed on 28 October 1858. Based on this Act, the St. Andrew's Day Assembly was convened, and held from 30 November 1858 to 31 January 1859 in Belgrade. Thus the institution of the national assembly was made legal, and foundations were laid for a system of popular representation in Serbia. Common-law assemblies were held from the beginning of the 19th century until 1858. They were convened either by the Prince or by the Council whenever they saw fit. They were also held during the First and Second Serbian Uprisings, from 1804 to 1815. The participants in these assemblies, except for a few rare cases, were invited by the Prince or by the Council, rather than elected by the people. Common-law assemblies were almost always held under the open sky, and thousands of people would attend. At one of them, the Sretenje Assembly, held on the day of the Serbian Orthodox Church religious holiday Sretenje (Presentation of Jesus), the first Serbian constitution – Sretenje Constitution – was ratified. In early September of 1842, the "Defenders of the Constitution" (ustavobranioci) headed by Toma Vučić-Perišić, aided by the assembly, deposed Prince Mihailo and put Aleksandar Karađorđević in his place. Sixteen years later, at the St. Andrew's Day Assembly, they performed a dynastic coup and returned the Obrenović dynasty to the throne.[1] [edit] BuildingThe Parliament building is located in the city center of Belgrade, on the Nikola Pašić Square, in front of Pioneer's Park. The building is shown on the five thousand Serbian dinar note. The Parliament of Serbia moved into this building on 23 July 2006, after the independence was regained. Prior to becoming the parliament of Serbia, it served as the seat of parliament for Yugoslavia (Kingdom, DFY, FPRY, SFRY and FRY) and Serbia and Montenegro. During the time of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, the parliament of Serbia convened in another building on Kralja Milana street. Construction on the building started in 1907, with the cornerstone being laid by King Petar I. The building was based on a design made by Konstantin Jovanović in 1891; a variant of that design made by Jovan Ilkić, which won a competition in 1901. World War I delayed construction, and the original plans to the building were lost. Reconstruction of the plans were made by Ilkić's son Pavle. The interior was designed by Nikolaj Krasnov. It was designed in the manner of academic traditionalism. A sculpture by Toma Rosandić, Igrali se konji vrani (Play of Black Horses), was placed in front of the building in 1939. A clip of the parliament building burning (which happened during the October fifth Overthrow) can be seen in the 2008 movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. The parliament building also seems to have served as inspiration in the game Half-life 2, featured as the Overwatch Nexus[2] [edit] Current National Assembly[edit] Organization
