The co-rapporteurs praised Montenegro’s progress as well as its readiness for the dialogue in integration processes.
The interlocutors jointly noted that the Parliament was the only true place for debate on the issues of social importance, including the strengthening of the electoral process. Among other things, President Brajović announced the establishment of a working group in charge of fthe implementation of the OSCE/ODIHR recommendations obtained after the positively assessed parliamentary elections, and expressed the expectation that the opposition would recognize the interest to participate, together with the parliamentary majority, in its work.
