One of the conditions is that Istvan Božoni should not be on the list for reconciliation of candidates for REM Council members
Professor Dubravka Valić Nedeljković, who resigned as a member of the REM Council with three other elected members, stated that their agreement is to return to the REM Council only if they receive guarantees that the ninth member will be elected after the elections for the national councils and with the condition that there is no candidate on the reconciliation list Istvan Bodjoni.
“We agreed: if we have guarantees that the ninth member will be elected only after the elections for the national councils have passed (because in this way the legitimacy would be disputed) and if Mr. Bodžoni is not on the list for reconciliation, even considering that our resignations were not verified by the Assembly, we would return to the process,” said Dubravka Valić Nedeljković for the Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS).
Bodzoni is a candidate of the Hungarian national minority who, according to earlier reports, Union of Vojvodina Hungarians, found himself in the procedure after the election for the ninth member was repeated, since the Assembly in November last year did not elect any of the two initially proposed candidates – Bosniak and Albanian councils.
Dubravka Valić Nedeljković previously explained that she and the other members who submitted their resignations refused to participate in the repeated procedure, considering it non-transparent, UNS reminded.
On Thursday, the Parliamentary Committee for Culture and Information suspended the procedure for nominating a member of the Council of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media proposed by national minorities and invited four members who submitted their resignations – Rodoljub Šabić, Mileva Malešević, Ira Prodanov Krajišnik and Dubravka Valić Nedeljković, to take over positions in REM.
The board also accepted that the newly formed REM Council draft a new REM Statute. On December 19 last year, Rodoljub Šabić, Mileva Malešević, Ira Prodanov Krajišnik and Dubravka Valić Nedeljković submitted their resignations from those positions at the office of the Parliament of Serbia.
The board adopted the opinion of the expert service that there are no legal obstacles for these members to submit a statement that they accept the position, given that their resignations have not been verified in the Parliament of Serbia.
