The regulation with the force of law (uredba sa zakonskom snagom | уредба са законском снагом) of 8 Apr 1992 was adopted by the Presidency of the Republic, which assumed extraordinary powers after the withdrawal of the Serbian members, as the National Assembly failed to achieve a quorum during the war. In 1994, the National Assembly retroactively approved the legislation passed by the Presidency.
