Serbia Commended for Progress in Parliamentary Capacity Building

National Assembly Secretary General Svetislava Bulajic is taking part in the roundtable on the common principles for support to parliaments entitled “Building to last: Parliamentary support aims for sustainable outcomes”, organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva.


The roundtable is attended by parliament speakers, secretaries general, MPs and parliamentary staff from over 40 countries around the world, as well as representatives of numerous international organisations of the United Nations.

Svetislava Bulajic presented the National Assembly’s progress as regards institutional capacity building and the results of the good cooperation with the organisations supporting the development of the National Assembly’s institutional capacities, especially the UNDP support programme. In the afternoon, the Secretary General will moderate the panel on “The roles of parliamentary support actors in achieving sustainable outcomes”. In the course of the morning meeting, Serbia was commended for the development of mechanisms which allow free access to information.

“It is important for us to be presented at this kind of global forum and it is good to hear words of praise and recognition for all the efforts we put into to build strong institutional capacities in our Parliament. It is also good that our experiences and results will be presented as a best practice example in the UN World Report. In the coming period, we will continue to strongly develop the institutions and expert capacities of the National Assembly with our UNDP partners, so as to contribute to the quality of the MPs’ work and the National Assembly’s accessibility to the citizens”, stressed Bulajic.
