President of the Parliament of Montenegro Mr Ivan Brajović has met Director of the World Health Organization's Regional Office for Europe Ms Zsuzsanna Jakab, who is paying an official visit to Montenegro.

He emphasised that the state remained focused on improving public health in the process of implementing the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development. President Brajovic also emphasised that the Parliament of Montenegro, as the umbrella legislature, and a direct representative of citizens, played an important role in preventing harmful effects on the health of citizens through the adoption of adequate legal solutions.
