In line with his constitutional competencies, the President of Montenegro, Mr Milo Đukanović, will commit to the implementation of the agreement reached with representatives of the Government, concerning the recall of ambassadors, Ms Tamara Brajović, the President’s Advisor for Foreign Policy noted.
In an interview for Vijesti, the Leader of DEMOS and an MP, Mr Modrag Lekić, told that the President is now asking for the opinion of the parliamentary Committee on International Relations, ignoring decisions signed by the Prime Minister.
Ms Brajović responded, explaining that it’s not usual to ask for the opinion of the parliamentary Committee when it comes to regular recalls.
However, as she pointed out, respecting both the Constitution and the Parliament as parts of the cohabitation government, President Đukanović in this specific case, when the proposal for the recall was pushed through the election of the new government, asked the competent parliamentary Committee for an opinion on the recall proposal.
“In addition, in order to be precise about the matter – the president of the state is the one who seeks opinions of the competent Committee when it comes to the appointment or the recall of ambassadors, not the prime minister,” Ms Brajović concluded.
