The national assembly of the Republic of Serbia and the German Bundestag: A comparative legal analysis

Abstract

The Bundestag, as the legislative body of the Federal Republic of Germany, represents its most important institution. The National Assembly in the Republic of Serbia also has significant influence and plays a crucial role. As legislative bodies represent the people, and the people are the bearers of a state's sovereignty which they do not exercise directly but through the operations and activities of the parliament, legislative bodies in certain states represent the highest authority. In this regard, the purpose of the legal research and analysis in this paper is to provide a parallel presentation of the activities of the legislative bodies and their influence in their respective states. Furthermore, each institution has its own unique characteristics that distinguish it from others. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to highlight the particularities and similarities of both legislative bodies.
