**Serbian Parliament Schedules Urgent Meeting on REM Council Elections**
The Serbian Parliament has scheduled an urgent meeting of the Culture and Information Committee, requested by the opposition, to address concerns over the election process for members of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media (REM) Council.
According to Ana Brnabic, the speaker of the Serbian Parliament, the meeting will take place on Monday, April 28, at 3pm. The agenda will include the issues raised by the opposition, which have been protesting outside the buildings of the Serbian state TV (RTS) in central Belgrade and Kosutnjak neighborhood.
**Student Protesters Call for New Procedure**
The demand for a new procedure aligns with the request of student protesters who have been blocking the RTS buildings for nine consecutive days. The students are calling for a fresh start in electing members to the REM Council, which has been at the center of controversy due to alleged irregularities.
This development comes as a response to growing pressure from the opposition and student groups, who want to ensure that the election process is fair and transparent. By scheduling an urgent meeting, the Serbian Parliament seems to be taking steps towards addressing these concerns.
