Today, Dritan Abazović, the President of the Montenegrin government in a technical mandate, stated that following the meetings with the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights, there are no limitations on the diplomatic activities of the Montenegrin Government.

– This is all part of the process through which we evolve as a society and establish our relevance – Abazović commented, emphasizing that he firmly believes they are making significant progress for the benefit of citizens.

He highlighted the initiation of reforms in the Prosecutor’s Office, expressing confidence that Montenegro is heading in the right direction.

– In the near future, it is imperative that we take comprehensive steps to reform and invigorate the judicial system in Montenegro – remarked the Prime Minister.

According to him, the perception among Montenegrin citizens is that they trust the Court in Strasbourg more than their local courts.

– We must work to alter this perception as true justice should be realized within our homeland – Abazović added, reflecting on the recent success in Podgorica.

He asserted that the Venice Commission would not provide an opinion regarding the legality of an act unless the Constitutional Court was functional.

– Montenegro harbors no negative sentiments towards international institutions, but rather values their perspectives on our state – he pointed out, also stressing that the Venice Commission is pivotal to unblocking the constitutional court.
