These people are proven fraudsters, they tried to push through another 65 points under the pretext of the fall of the government, to push through another 65 points under the pretext of fulfilled demands.

"On the day of the confirmation of the resignation of the Prime Minister at the session of the National Assembly, the mandate of the Government ends. Accordingly, we note the resignation of the Government of the Republic of Serbia.

Grbović: Illegal session
The president of the Movement of Free Citizens (PSG), Pavle Grbović, said that today's session of the Serbian Parliament is illegitimate and that only the law that fulfills the fourth student demand on higher education can be voted on, and that the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević, which he submitted on January 28, should be confirmed.
All other laws, as Grbović said in the program of Newsmax television, will have to wait for the next government, because this one does not have a mandate for it, announced the PSG.
Vucevic: About the resignation at the end of the session
The Prime Minister of Serbia, Miloš Vučević, said that the Serbian Parliament will confirm his resignation after the discussion on all the laws on the agenda, after which he hopes that a new government will be elected, and if that is not possible, extraordinary elections will follow.
Vucevic said in the program of Television Prva that there will be no discussion about his resignation and that it cannot therefore be an item on the agenda.
His resignation is the last in the discussion that all laws could be adopted, because if the Government goes into technical mandate before then, all the proposed laws would have to be withdrawn, said Vucevic.
What will be discussed
The proposal for amendments to the Law on Higher Education foresees that tuition fees for students will be reduced by 50 percent, while the Proposal for the Law on establishing a guarantee scheme and subsidizing part of the interest as a measure to support young people in buying their first residential real estate foresees a participation of only one percent and subsidizing the interest in the first six years of loan repayment.
It was proposed that the parliament consider proposals for amendments to the Law on the Basics of the Education and Training System, the Law on Primary Education and Training and the Law on Secondary Education and Training.
Also on the agenda is a set of financial laws, among which is the Proposal for the Law on the Protection of Financial Users of Financial Services, which limits interest rates on almost all types of loans.

It was proposed to discuss the Bill on Amendments to the Law on Road Traffic Safety.
The last item on the proposed agenda is the motion to dismiss the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić, which was submitted by 41 members of the opposition.
The resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević should also be noted at the session, and as the President of the Assembly Ana Brnabić said, this will be done after the discussion on all items on the agenda is finished.
Opposition politicians announced to "Vreme" that they would not participate in it, and some mentioned a potential blockade of the airport, Expo, gatherings in front of and in the parliament building.
Green-Left Front: The only items on the agenda are the fulfillment of student demands and the resignation of the Government

"Accordingly, we submitted a request to remove all other items from the agenda and we do not agree to anything else on the agenda," said Radomir Lazović, deputy of the Green-Left Front, for "Vreme".
Freedom and Justice Party: We will not participate
The deputy president of the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP), Borko Stefanović, confirmed for "Vreme" that the party will not participate in the session.
He added that the party has plans for the day of the session, but he did not want to comment on them further.
Coalition NADA: May we be unpredictable
Deputies of the NADA coalition will not participate in the debate or investigation at the session of the Serbian Parliament, announced the president of the New Democratic Party of Serbia (New DSS), Miloš Jovanović, at a press conference on Monday (March 3).
Participating in the discussion, as he stated, "would give some kind of legitimacy to this freak government, and we are agreeing with colleagues from the opposition on the modalities of expressing dissatisfaction."
As he said, at the session of the Assembly there are only two points that could be discussed - the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević and the formation of a transitional government, "while the rest are a farce".
"The bastards and rascals of the blockaders used Vidovdan to announce the final physical confrontation with students who just want to study and fulfill their constitutionally guaranteed right to knowledge and education. Attacks on them will not be allowed," says the President of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić
The trial of SNS activists for the attack on students in Novi Sad was postponed because one of the accused did not appear. According to the defense, he is undergoing treatment. The court scheduled a new hearing for June 30
Vidovdan will be marked by two opposing gatherings in Belgrade - a student protest and a gathering of government supporters. The regime media is already announcing violence. Is intimidation and dissuading of citizens from protesting at work?
How did the former partner of Minister Darko Glišić rapidly advance in her career and become the owner of several properties in exclusive locations?
What are the constitutional powers, and what is the real role of the head of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, Đur Matsut, in the political theater of Aleksandar Vučić. And what kind of responsibility does his consent to the degradation and deception of citizens entail
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
