President Brajović underlined the importance of constructive cooperation of the Parliament with non-governmental organisations with the aim of further strengthening of institutions in the country. He reminded that monitoring of the plenary sessions and work of the committees was fully open to civil society, being an important step in confirming the status of the Montenegrin parliament as one of the most transparent in the region.
The interlocutors agreed on the importance of continuous cooperation with non-governmental organisations in Montenegro through various forms, including the project that will be implemented by MANS in the future. In general, the goal of the project is to contribute to strengthening the role of the Parliament of Montenegro in the development of democracy and establishing the principles of good governance, with a focus on greater citizen engagement in parliamentary processes.
