Serbian term or phrase: časnik
Konstituisanje skupštine opštine vrši se izborom određenih časnika, odnosno ona se smatra konstituisanom onog momenta kada bude izabran predsednik skupštine i postavljen sekretar skupštine opštine.

Ne isključujem mogućnost da se radi o grešci, pošto mi se čini da je tekst kopi-pejst varijanta sa interneta.

Explanation:
A civil servant or public servant is a person in the public sector employed for a government department or agency. The extent of civil servants of a state as part of the "civil service" varies from country to country. In the United Kingdom, for instance, only Crown (national government) employees are referred to as civil servants whereas county or city employees are not.

Explanation:
Leadership of the Assembly

The Speaker of the Assembly presides over the Assembly in the chief leadership position, controlling the flow of legislation and committee assignments. The Speaker is elected by the majority party caucus, followed by confirmation of the full Assembly on passage of a floor vote. Other Assembly leaders, such as the majority and minority leaders, are elected by their respective party caucuses according to each party's strength in the chamber.
