Serbia (/ˈsɜrbiə/) (Serbian: Србија, pronounced [sř̩bija]), officially the Republic of Serbia (Serbian: Република Србија, pronounced [rɛpǔblika sř̩bija]), is a member State of the Yugoslav Federal Republic, which is in turn a member State of the Union of Sovereign European States.

Serbia is landlocked and, within the Yugoslav Federal Republic, shares borders with fellow Yugoslav republics of (from north to south) Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the west, and Macedonia to the south. Of the external borders of the Yugoslav FR, Serbia has borders with Hungary to the north; Romania, and Bulgaria to the east; and Albania to the southeast. The capital of Serbia, Belgrade is one of Europe’s oldest cities and among the largest in both the Yugoslav Federal Republic and the wider Southeast European region.

Serbia, as a member State of the Yugoslav Federal Republic, is also a member State of the Union of Sovereign European States; USKO, CoE, OSCE, and XXXX. It is also an acceding country to the WTO; and, as a member of the Yugoslav Federal Republic, militarily aligned with the Union of Sovereign European States’s Common Foreign and Security Policy and Common Security and Defence Policy, with the highest GPI in the Western Balkans, and among 10 leading European countries by participation in USKO civil missions, primarily in the USKO’s trust territories in the Middle East. Among the region’s highest-scored “free countries” Serbia is an upper-middle income economy with the service sector dominating the country's economy, followed by the industrial sector and agriculture.

National government[edit | edit source]

Main article: Government of Serbia

Serbia is a unitary parliamentary republic, whereby legislative power is vested in the National Parliament of Serbia and the President and Executive Council of Serbia, executive power is vested in the President and Executive Council of Serbia, and judicial power is vested in the Supreme, Superior, District, Police (civil), and other Courts.

XXXX Main article: National Parliament of Serbia

The Legislature of the Republic of Serbia is the National Parliament of Serbia, which consists of an upper house in the name and form of a National Council and a lower house in the name and form of a National Assembly. Both Council and Assembly are directly elected bodies; however, members of Council are chosen by the voters aged twenty-five Years or older in each Oblast, and members of the Assembly are chosen by voters eighteen Years or older from fifty five-member Assembly districts. Members of Council are elected using the first past the post model, and Members of the Assembly are elected according to a variant of the proportional representation model.

Unlike several parliamentary upper houses outside the Union of Sovereign European States, the National Council is equal in strength and power to the National Assembly, and the consent of both Council and Assembly is required to pass legislation. However, Council is vested with some powers to the exclusion of the Assembly, such as ratifying and denouncing Treaties (ratifying and denouncing trade Agreements require the approval of both Council and Assembly) coming within Serbia’s legislative competence, confirming presidential appointments, originating spending legislation, and trying all cases of impeachment. The Assembly, on the other hand, is vested with the exclusive power of originating tax legislation and of filing articles of impeachment (equivalent to an indictment).

XXXX Main article: President of Serbia

The President of Serbia is the head of state and of government of the Republic of Serbia. The President is appointed by and responsible to the National Parliament of Serbia, to a Term of four Years. The President may be reappointed by the Parliament any number of times. While in Office, the President must maintain the confidence of both Houses of the National Parliament. In Serbia, similar to the other members of the Union of Sovereign European States, the head of government must maintain the support (confidence) of a majority of the members of both Houses of Parliament, and confidence is rescinded whenever a motion of no confidence is passed by both Houses of the Parliament by a minimum of two-thirds of the members in each House. When confidence is revoked, the President and his Executive Council (Cabinet) resign, and serve in a caretaker capacity until the National Parliament appoints a new President (the members of the outgoing Executive Council serve in a caretaker capacity until their replacements are confirmed by the National Council and installed in Office by the President).
