Montenegro has fully complied with the individual measures outlined in the judgments related to the petitions from former employees of the bankrupt Radoje Dakić factory, according to a Resolution passed by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.

During a meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies in Strasbourg from June 10 to June 12, the Resolution was adopted, closing the supervision of the implementation of individual measures from seven judgments and one decision of the European Court of Human Rights concerning former employees of “Radoje Dakić” in bankruptcy. The resolution highlighted that Montenegro has completely executed the decisions made by domestic courts in favor of the applicants.

Specifically, in response to the enforcement of the seven judgments and one decision from the European Court of Human Rights, Montenegro disbursed a total of 6.31 million euros to 606 former employees of the company within three months of the decisions being made, addressing their claims based on final judgments and domestic court decisions, according to a statement from the Office of the Representative of Montenegro before the European Court of Human Rights.

To address the claims of the remaining 1,500 former workers who did not appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, the state allocated 7.79 million euros to the account of the Commercial Court.

The Committee of Ministers acknowledged and praised the swift implementation of these measures by the State of Montenegro. These actions were carried out according to conclusions from the Government, proposed by the Office of the Representative of Montenegro before the European Court of Human Rights, and were facilitated through collaborative efforts involving various governmental entities including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and the bankruptcy administration of Radoje Dakić, among others.

During the same meeting, the Committee adopted a Resolution to close the supervision of the execution of the judgment in the case of Jovašević and Others v. Montenegro regarding the prolonged length of administrative-judicial proceedings that began in 2010. Additionally, a Resolution was passed to close the supervision related to the case of Petrović and Others v. Montenegro, which involves nine cases concerning excessive delays in proceedings before Montenegro’s Constitutional Court.
