Next year, Serbia is facing changes in the Constitution. In addition to an independent judiciary, citizens will decide in a referendum, most likely, on deleting the preamble of Kosovo and reduction of the number of MPs.
Serbia will change at least two times the Constitution until entry into the EU.
Election of the members of the Supreme Judicial Council and State Prosecutorial Council will be changed in 2017. They will no longer be appointed by the Assembly of Serbia and the citizens will vote in a referendum at the end of the process of joining the EU, on joining the Union.
Sources of Blic from the current government say that changes to the Constitution are envisaged for the end of next year, and that the judiciary will not be the only point of the vote.
– They seek from us to erase Kosovo from the preamble and this will be the toughest job for the new government, because it needs to provide a two-thirds majority in the Assembly, and then to certify the referendum. Also, the largest party and its coalition partners have committed themselves to the citizens that will reduce the number of deputies, and Tomislav Nikolić advocates for the change to the mode of election of head of state – says a source to Blic.
No one wanted to comment from the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).
