The work of the XIII convocation of the National Assembly (August 2022 – October 2023) was marked by intense manipulations of procedures and abuses of parliamentary rules. The parliamentary leadership used its position to give the ruling majority an institutional advantage over the opposition by denying equal access to parliamentary mechanisms. While the primary intention behind this behaviour was primarily to achieve a political advantage over the opposition parties, the wider effect achieved is the restriction of the right to exercise the parliamentary mandate and the additional undermining of the already significantly eroded integrity and role of the National Assembly in the political system of Serbia.
