Addressing the media Marinkovic stressed that the National Assembly needs to be accessible and open to all citizens, adding that the MPs elected by those very same citizens play an enormous part in it. All the MPs should take part in boosting the reputation of the supreme legislative body among the public, and the National Assembly should be the bridge between the citizens and the executive, said Marinkovic.
Vladimir Marinkovic added that the Law on the Election of MPs should be amended so as to allow all the regions and citizens of Serbia to have their own representatives at the National Assembly.
Marinkovic said that a volunteer from the Faculty of Political Science would be working in the Office, at the same time thanking the representatives of the NDI office who would be training all the volunteers. He invited the other MPs to forge closer ties with the public by opening parliamentary constituency offices
In addition to the MPs, the opening of the Office was also attended by representatives of the academic community, economy and diplomatic corps, as well as many media representatives.
Prof. Dr Vladimir Marinkovic’s Parliamentary Constituency Office is situated in the offices of the Social Democratic Party of Serbia Parliamentary Group in the National Assembly Building, 14 Kralja Milana Street.
