The National Council of the Serbian People consists of: the presidents of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska, the speakers of the national assemblies, the presidents of the governments of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, the presidents of the academies of science and art of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska, the representative of the Senate of Republika Srpska and the president of Matica Srpska.

The All-Serb Assembly states that the Serb people represent a unique entity. Throughout history, the Serbian people have had several states with different names, and claim the right to inherit their rich tradition. 5. The All-Serb Assembly establishes that the name of the nation is one and that it is impossible to change it. Various imposed prefixes that were added before the noun Serbs are rejected. Members of the Serbian nation have the right to call themselves Serbs, no matter where they currently live. 6. The All-Serbian Assembly notes the necessity of a Serbian national gathering, and decides that it is necessary to hold an All-Serb Assembly regularly, every two years, at which the most important national issues would be considered together with the participation of representatives of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska, as well as other representatives of the Serbian people from region and the world. 7. The All-Serb Assembly expects the full realization of the process of national reconciliation and overcoming historical divisions within the Serbian people. 8. The All-Serb Assembly recommends the institutions of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska to act in a unified and coordinated manner and to make efforts to stop the assimilation of Serbs in the countries of the region, but also throughout the world. The Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska should maintain a relationship with members of the Serbian people by developing personal, cultural, scientific, sports and all other types of ties and relationships. 9. The All-Serb Assembly, respecting all religions and supporting freedom of religion and recognizing the irreplaceable importance of members of the Serbian people of other religions, gives special thanks to the Serbian Orthodox Church, which unites the largest part of the Serbian people under its umbrella. The Serbian Orthodox Church preserved the Serbian people in the most difficult times both biologically and culturally and educationally. 10. The All-Serb Assembly recognizes the Serbian Orthodox Church as one of the pillars of the national, cultural and spiritual identity of the Serbian people, and calls for closer cooperation between church and state authorities in key issues such as the preservation of traditional Christian values ​​and the sanctity of marriage and family. The All-Serb Assembly also supports the role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the education of young people through pedagogical and educational activities. 11. The All-Serb Assembly states that Kosovo and Metohija is an inalienable part of the Republic of Serbia, one of the determinants of the national identity of the Serbs, it represents the foundation of the spirituality of the Serbian people and the cornerstone of the Serbian covenantal and holy path. The All-Serb Assembly insists on using the full name of the southern Serbian province - Kosovo and Metohija, which the Albanian secessionists avoid. 12. The All-Serb Assembly supports the efforts of the Republic of Serbia in preserving territorial integrity and sovereignty, guaranteed by international law and Resolution 1244 and other resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, as well as the right and duty of the Republic of Serbia to devote itself to the survival of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija. The All-Serb Assembly demands and believes that Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, as well as all other citizens loyal to the Republic of Serbia, monasteries, churches, medieval fortifications, private property, cemeteries and other endangered objects must be protected by all available legal, political, economic and other means. 13. The All-Serb Assembly condemns the deliberate creation of intolerable living conditions for Serbs and the persecution carried out by the temporary institutions of self-government in Priština. This continuous, well-planned and comprehensive repression of the Albanian secessionists against the Serbian population in Kosovo and Metohija has resulted in the accelerated departure of Serbs from the Province during the past years, as well as a drastic deterioration of the position of that part of the Serbian people who, despite the brutal ethnically motivated terror, remained living in their hearths. The All-Serb Assembly expects the Republic of Serbia to continue to protect the rights and lives of its citizens in Kosovo and Metohija, using all protection mechanisms provided for by internal and international law. 14. The All-Serb Assembly insists on the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 in all its aspects and believes that the implementation of the Brussels Agreement, the formation of the Community of Serbian Municipalities and permanent dialogue are the only sustainable way to solve the problem. 15. The All-Serb Assembly expresses its reverence for all the victims who died during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as all the victims who died in the wars in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. 16. The All-Serb Assembly does not support the resolution on Srebrenica, for which 84 countries voted in the United Nations General Assembly, while 109 countries were against, abstained or did not vote. The aforementioned resolution was an attempt to collectively blame the entire Serbian people, which is unacceptable and cannot be implemented. 17. The All-Serb Assembly welcomes the efforts of the leadership of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska to contribute to the clarification of historical facts related to the events of the nineties, especially when it comes to the events in and around Srebrenica from 1992 to 1995. 18. The All-Serb Assembly states that the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH - the Dayton Peace Accords has been permanently and significantly violated despite the aspirations of Republika Srpska and the Serbian constituent people, who fought to preserve the Dayton constitutional framework in BiH, and calls on all international actors to return to respecting the letter of the Dayton Peace Accords. 19. The All-Serb Assembly notes that the Republic of Serbia, in accordance with its status as a signatory of the Dayton Peace Accords and with the powers it received from Republika Srpska in the Agreement of August 29, 1995, should internationalize the problem of the collapse of the Dayton Peace Accords with the requirement that it is applied in the form in which it was signed by all. 20. The All-Serb Assembly emphasizes that Republika Srpska is a unique and indivisible constitutional subject, which independently performs its constitutional, legislative, executive and judicial functions in accordance with the Constitution of BiH - Annex four of the Dayton Peace Accords and whose territory cannot be alienated outside the Constitution and laws of Republika Srpska. 21. The All-Serb Assembly points out that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not one, nor a single electoral unit for the election of joint bodies. The All-Serb Assembly emphasizes that BiH is exclusively represented by a three-member Presidency based on consensus, and not by individuals usurping the responsibilities of the functions they perform. 22. The All-Serb Assembly accepts and supports the legal order established by the Dayton Peace Accords, which envisages mechanisms for the protection of entities and constituent peoples by applying the institution of entity voting in the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly at the level of BiH, the institute of protection of vital national interests in the House of Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly at the level of BiH and of the Institute for the Protection of Vital Entity Interests in the BiH Presidency. 23. The All-Serb Assembly states that Republika Srpska is satisfied with the high degree of autonomy defined by the Dayton Peace Accords, therefore we insist on the essential and formal implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords, as an international treaty that cannot be changed unilaterally or through interventionism. The All-Serb Assembly believes that Republika Srpska can, to the extent it deems purposeful, activate all the competences that, according to the Dayton Peace Accords, are foreseen as the competences of the entities. 24. The All-Serb Assembly condemns any disrespect and violation of the Dayton Peace Accords and democratic procedures in Bosnia and Herzegovina, imposition of laws, over-voting of the constituent peoples, transfer of jurisdiction from the entity level to the central level, violation of human rights and freedoms, and the guaranteed rights of the Serb constituent people to freely and independently decision-making and action within the Dayton BiH. 25. The All-Serb Assembly considers it inappropriate to appoint a high representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina contrary to Annex 10 of the Dayton Peace Accords, which stipulates that the appointment of a high representative requires the consent of the contracting parties, as well as a corresponding resolution of the United Nations Security Council. 26. The All-Serb Assembly states that the Serbian people, the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska should unitedly preserve historical friendships with proven friends, but also build new alliances. 27. The All-Serb Assembly considers that the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska, in accordance with the Dayton Peace Accords, taking into account the geopolitical position, economic relations and political processes, view integration towards the European Union as a strategic goal, which should be realized through partnership political and economic framework with full respect for national interests. 28. The All-Serb Assembly supports the policy of military neutrality of the Republic of Serbia in relation to all existing military alliances, and Republika Srpska, which will fight for the preservation of military neutrality in Bosnia and Herzegovina, fully agrees with this political determination. The All-Serb Assembly supports the cooperation of the security system of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska in terms of legislation, exchange of information, joint trainings and exercises, with the aim of achieving and preserving peace and stability. 29. The All-Serb Assembly welcomes the decision of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska to jointly celebrate September 15 as the Day of Serbian Unity, Freedom and the National Flag in memory of the breakthrough of the Thessaloniki Front in the First World War, as well as that Sretenje, February 15, is Statehood Day of the Republic of Serbia and the Statehood Day of Republika Srpska, which should be united and celebrated together. The All-Serb Assembly expects Republika Srpska to continue celebrating January 9 as the Day of the Creation of Republika Srpska and the Patron Saint's Day. 30. The All-Serb Assembly confirms that the anthemn "Bože pravde" is the all-Serb anthem, and that the double-headed eagle of Nemanjić is the national all-Serb coat of arms. 31. The All-Serbian Assembly emphasizes the unifying importance of the Serbian language and the Cyrillic alphabet as pillars of Serbian culture and science, but also of national identity. The All-Serb Assembly, with the aim of preserving and nurturing Serbian culture and Serbian national identity, confirms: the right to use the Serbian language /both pronunciations - Ekavian and Ijekavian, and the same Serbian standardization/ and Cyrillic as its native script, the right to express, study and develop Serbian culture , the right to study national history and nurture the heroic, justice-loving and freedom-loving tradition of the Serbian people, the right to study national geography, the right to preserve and protect the cultural and historical heritage of the Serbian people in its cultural space, the right to study customs, folklore, literature, art and the communication culture of the Serbian people, the right to information in the Serbian language, the right to use Serbian national symbols and their highlighting in public places, the right to celebrate Serbian national holidays and other rights that affect or could affect the preservation and nurturing of Serbian culture and Serbian national identity, without renouncing the Serbian Latin cultural monuments. 32. The All-Serb Assembly proposes measures aimed at preserving and nurturing Serbian culture and Serbian national identity: organizing and implementing unique, specially standardized programs for learning the Serbian language, Cyrillic script, Serbian literature, culture and history; support for the establishment, construction, renovation and maintenance of pre-school, school, high school and cultural institutions, as well as the establishment or renewal of Serbian studies at higher education institutions, in cooperation with the domicile countries; support for the work of cultural and artistic societies; support for the work of written and electronic media in the Serbian language; assistance in the maintenance of existing and the establishment of new departments and schools within the Serbian Orthodox Church, where, in addition to the already existing religious teaching, a unique, specially standardized program of learning the Serbian language, the Cyrillic alphabet, Serbian culture and history would be implemented; scholarships for gifted pupils and students; organizing youth, school and student camps, as well as seasonal schools and various cultural events; and other measures that contribute to preserving the national, cultural, linguistic and spiritual identity and preventing the assimilation of the Serbian people. 33. The All-Serb Assembly asks the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska to jointly nurture historical memory and preserve the memory of the Serbian victims who died for freedom in all wars. It is especially important to commemorate and remember the victims of the First World War, the victims of the genocide committed against the Serbs in the Second World War and the victims of the wars of the 1990s in a united and unique way. 34. The All-Serb Assembly recommends additional internationalization of the subject of the suffering of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia. It is necessary to present to the world the enormous suffering and genocide committed against Serbs in the NDH camp system, with a special emphasis on the suffering of children in the special and globally unique death camps for children Jastrebarsko, Sisak, Đakovo and Stara Gradiška. Camps and mass killings and death centers Jasenovac, Donja Gradina, Sajmište, Banjica, Sremska Mitrovica, Kragujevac, Gospić, Jadovno, Pag, Jablanac, Mlaka, Slana, Zenica, Sarajevo, Vlasenica, Višegrad, Paklenica, Prebilovci, countless pits in Herzegovina and Dinara Karst, Kozaračka and other Serbian villages throughout today's Republika Srpska, the Republic of Serbia, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia were just some of the places where brutal crimes and mass murders of the Serbian people were committed. 35. The All-Serb Assembly welcomes the united intention of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska to jointly build monumental memorial buildings dedicated to preserving the truth about the suffering of Serbs in the Second World War in Donja Gradina, Republika Srpska, and Belgrade, Republic of Serbia. Two monumental memorial complexes in Donja Gradina and Belgrade should bear witness to the greatness of the sacrifice of the freedom-loving Serbian people in the fight against fascism, Nazism and the Ustasha. The All-Serb Assembly believes that these memorial complexes should become places of pilgrimage and be included in the plan of school and student field trips of the schools and faculties of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska. 36. The All-Serb Assembly recommends the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska to continuously and jointly help the Serbian people in the region and the diaspora.

The All-Serb Assembly recommends the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska to protect the cultural heritage of the Serbian people that is threatened outside the territories of the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska.

The All-Serb Assembly requires the state bodies of the Serbian people to specifically stimulate scientific and research work and cultural and artistic creativity in this matter. 38. The All-Serb Assembly demands additional material and any other type of support for the returning Serbs who returned to their homelands in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina after the events of the war. Serbs are still the owners of large tracts of land in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they must strengthen themselves economically in order to preserve family property. 39. The All-Serb Assembly emphasizes the need to form a set of harmonized legal solutions and incentive measures with the aim of increasing the birth rate, in order to ensure demographic growth.

The All-Serb Assembly proposes the creation of a harmonized agricultural production plan for the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska. 44.
