Announcement of the Collegium of the President

At today’s meeting, the Collegium of the President of the Parliament of Montenegro has strongly condemned yesterday’s behaviour of the Democratic Front MP during the meeting of the Administrative Committee.  With regard to that, the Collegium expressed regret over the repeated incidents, aimed at undermining dignity of the Montenegrin Parliament. Members of the Collegium agreed that cases of indecent and irresponsible behaviour of MPs, violating dignity and reputation of the Parliament of Montenegro and the citizens who elected them, have been rare in the history of Montenegrin parliamentary life.

They emphasised that the incidents in the Parliament could not be characterised as incidental events, and that the Montenegrin public should not receive a message that vandalism and demolition were a legitimate form of behaviour and political action.

Collegium of the President has urged all MP groups formed in the Parliament to state their opinion on unpleasant scenes and attacks against MPs and thus send a clear message to the citizens of Montenegro that they condemn scandalous actions of violent MPs, so not to support them by their silence.
