The National Assembly (Serbian: Народна скупштина, romanizedNarodna skupština, pronounced [nǎːrodnaː skûpʃtina]), formally the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia (Serbian: Народна скупштина Републике Србије, romanizedNarodna skupština Republike Srbije), is the unicameral legislature of Serbia. The assembly is composed of 250 deputies who are proportionally elected to four-year terms on the basis of direct, universal, and equal suffrage by secret ballot. It is presided over by a President of the National Assembly (speaker), who is assisted by at least one vice-president (deputy speaker).[1]

The National Assembly exercises supreme legislative power. It adopts and amends the Constitution, laws, elects Government, appoints state officials such as the Supreme Public Prosecutor, Ombudsman, Governor of the National Bank of Serbia, President of the State Audit Institution. All decisions are made by majority vote of deputies at the session at which a majority of deputies are present, except for amending the Constitution, when a two-thirds majority is needed.[2]
