Minister for Kosovo-Metohija Goran Bogdanovic declared the proposed budget social and only partly developmental. He emphasised the need for strict control over the expenditure of budget funds, adding that next year’s budget was the first to include expenditure control.

Following a debate that included some criticism to the proposed budget and opinions that the budget demonstrated the state policy’s responsibility for Kosovo-Metohija, the Committee proposed, by a majority of votes, that the National Assembly should accept the Bill on the 2012 Budget of the Republic of Serbia.

The sitting was chaired by Committee Chairman Ljubomir Kragovic.
