At today’s session of the Constitutional Court, amendments to the President Law were unanimously overturned. The President Law was adopted in December 2022.
The Constitutional Court, comprising Budimir Scepanovic (president) and judges – Snezana Armenko, Dragana Djuranovic, Milodrag Gogic, Desanka Lopicic and Momirka Tesic unanimously ruled that the amendments to the President Law were unconstitutional.
“Provisions of Article 7.b paragraph 1, Article 7.f paragraph 1, Article 7.h paragraph 2, 4 and 5 and Article 24.a of the Law on President of Montenegro are suspended,” the court says.
The initiative for assessing the constitutionality of the disputed law was launched by the advisor of the former President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, for the constitutional system and legal matters, Boris Bastijancic, and the NGO ‘Centre for Democratic Transition’.
