The Parliament of Montenegro equally uses phonemes ś and ź, as well as sj and zj

Article 13 of the Constitution of Montenegro, among other things, states that the Montenegrin language is the official language in Montenegro, and the Spelling Rulebook of the Montenegrin language and the Dictionary of the Montenegrin language state that the phonemes ś and sj are equal, which implies the right of individuals to free choice in using them. The Parliament of Montenegro also uses these rules when informing the public on the most significant parliamentary events.

We also remind that the Parliament of Montenegro transfers statements and documents of MPs who use phonemes ś and ź in their original forms, respecting the specifics of the Montenegrin language, regulated by adequate regulations.
