The state of emergency was imposed in line with Article 83 of the
Serbian Constitution and at the suggestion of the government. A
state of emergency is introduced, Vucetic explained, in
circumstances threatening the country's security, human rights and
freedoms and the operation of state bodies.
The state of emergency is also regulated by the federal law on
defence from 1993, which states that the police command becomes
subordinate to the army command by decision of the Supreme Defence
Council.
The Defence Council met on Wednesday night in Belgrade.
Apart from the president of Serbia and Montenegro, Svetozar
Marovic, the Council also includes the acting Serbian and
Montenegrin presidents, Natasa Micic and Filip Vujanovic.
