Deputy PM Dritan Abazović, who is speaking today before the EU Foreign Affairs Committee, has asked European partners for understanding when it comes to changes in prosecutorial laws, stating that their change is aimed at a better fight for the rule of law.
“I want to assure you that with the people who now run the Prosecutor’s Office, we can’t achieve results and that is a problem and that is why I am asking for your understanding.
We want to follow the rules on the road to the EU, we don’t want anything against the standard, but we need help to find a common solution, and if we want a solution, then we must change the State Prosecutor”, Mr Abazović has stated in Brussels.
Answering MEPs’ questions, Mr Abazović said that there had to be a majority for some issues, as well as for the reform of elections and changes in the Prosecutor’s Office, and that a way for dialogue with the opposition had to be found.
“The Government must be ready for dialogue and I think the Government is ready.
It’s not easy, you can’t interfere in Parliament, but I am more than sure that the new leadership of Parliament and the majority representatives will start a dialogue”, said Mr Abazović.
He said that Montenegro had to make more progress in the field of the rule of law, the fight against corruption, in order, as he said, to provide people with a better standard. He added that people who had been in power for 30 years couldn’t lead institutions or a country on the path to the EU.
