For the President of the Council of REM on Tuesday, Stevica Smederevac was unanimously elected.
All eight members of the REM Council voted for him at the fourth constitutive session of the REM Council.
Smederevac was officially proposed by REM Council member Milan Petković, due to, as he stated, his experience and legal knowledge.
Miloš Garić, who was a candidate for REM Council president at the previous sessions, said that such an agreement was reached during consultations.
He stated that this is a new page in the work of REM and that all members should give their maximum contribution.
The Council of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM) previously did not get a president after three constitutive sessions, and the fourth regular constitutive session is scheduled for September 22 at 13 pm and will be open to the public.
At the previous sessions, held on July 20 and 30, as well as on September 1, none of the proposed candidates received enough votes to be elected as the head of the Council.
Today's session was held in circumstances where the Council does not yet have all nine members. Namely, during the voting in Assembly of Serbia in November last year, none of the two candidates proposed by the national councils of national minorities received the necessary majority, so the election of the ninth member has yet to be carried out.
The current members of the REM Council are Dubravka Valić Nedeljković, Ira Prodanov Krajišnik, Mileva Malešić, Rodoljub Šabić, Stevica Smederevac, Milan Petković, Miloš Garić and Snežana Miljković.
Four members - Valić Nedeljković, Prodanov Krajišnik, Malešić and Šabić - previously resigned, but subsequently decided to return to the work of the Council after the authentic interpretation of the Law on Electronic Media was adopted. After that, the first of the current constitutive sessions was held.
