Day of adoption of the Constitution of Serbia

Serbian Parliament30 September 2006 The People’s Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, in an extraordinary meeting in the presence of the President and the Government, unanimously voted in favour of the draft new Constitution, which was adopted at a national referendum on 28-29 October 2006.

The referendum was attended by 54.91% of all eligible citizens (3,645,517 people), of which 53.04% (3,521,724 people) voted for the adoption of the Constitution.

The preamble of the Constitution states that Kosovo and Metohija is an integral part of the Republic of Serbia, and the first article states that Serbia is a state of the Serbian people and all citizens living in it.

At the moment, neither October 28 nor 29 are declared public holidays, but this development seems logical.
