Article 48. 7 foresees a deadline of six months for the Assembly to decide on the request to organise a Republic referendum at the request of voters. According to the information provided by the Serbian authorities, this decision concerns only formal aspects of the request and does not include the position of the Assembly on the substance. A deadline of six months to decide on formal issues appears too long. The Venice Commission recommends considering a reduction of this deadline and clarifying the deadline given to the Assembly to take a position on the substance.
