The percentage of females in the parliament is largely a result of the requirement to have a minimum of 30% women on the election tickets. Notable politicians include ljiljana colic who took the position as. Minister of education from march 2004 to oct 2004 and diana dragutinovic who was in the office as the minister of finance from july 2008 to march 2011.
