The first sitting of the Poverty Reduction Committee was convened under the Rules of Procedure by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Prof. Dr Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic. Until the election of Committee Chairperson, the sitting was chaired by the oldest Committee member, deputy Jovan Damjanovic from the Serbian Radical Party Deputy Group.

The Committee members unanimously elected deputy Snezana Stojanovic-Plavsic from the G17 Plus Deputy Group as Committee Chairperson. Since there were no nominees for Committee Deputy Chairperson, the Committee will vote on this issue in one of the following sittings.
