Assessment of the Laws on Parliamentary and Presidential Elections in the Republic of Serbia (FYR)

This report provides an assessment of two laws of the Republic of Serbia, the Law on Elections of Members of Parliament and the Law on Elections of the President of the Republic. The parliamentary election law was adopted in October 2000. The presidential law dates from 1990. Under the Constitution of Serbia, the National Assembly is a unicameral body and consists of 250 members directly elected by secret ballot for a term of four years. The president is elected directly by secret ballot for a term of five years. Most of the key issues relating to the election and recall of the president are regulated by reference to the parliamentary election law. The report therefore focuses on the content of that law.
