Presentation of National Assembly and UNDP/SDC Joint Project Held for Swiss Journalists

A number of Swiss journalists attended a presentation of project Strengthening the Oversight Role and Transparency of the National Assembly, jointly realised by the National Assembly and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/SDC.


The journalists accompanied the Swiss President who is visiting the Republic of Serbia, and were presented the project as one of the types of cooperation enjoyed by the two parliaments.
Isabel Perich, the Country Director of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) in Serbia, said that via the project, the Swiss Agency was supporting the strengthening of the National Assembly’s legislative and control function, and the supreme legislative body’s outreach to the citizens of Serbia.
On the behalf of the National Assembly, the participants were addressed by MPs Dubravka Filipovski and Olgica Batic who shared examples of best practice and successful functioning of the National Assembly.
The project’s goals and results in the previous period were presented by UN Development Programme Resident Representative in Serbia Irena Vojackova-Sollorano and Portfolio Manager Biljana Ledenican.
The Swiss journalists had many questions about the National Assembly’s work, the relationship between the National Assembly and the media and the role of the media in shaping public opinion in Serbia.
The presentation of the project, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), was also attended by representatives of the Swiss Embassy in Serbia
