President of the European Parliament, Mr David Sassoli, answered to je president of Montenegro’s parliament, Mr Ivan Brajović, that EP missions abroad were banned due to coronaviurs situation and that included observation missions for elections.
Mr Ivan Brajović’s Cabinet reported in July that “Democracy Support and Election Coordination Group of EP stated at the meeting held last month that observation of elections in Montenegro is priority”.
Parliament said to Pobjeda yesterday that there had been no any further communication between Mr Brajović and Mr Sassoli.
Arrival of the Mission will be considered in the forthcoming period, on the basis of the epidemic situation.
“Be sure that EP stands shoulder to shoulder with Montenegro when it comes to facing present challenges”, Sassoli’s letters said.
Parliament of Montenegro reminds that Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has formed delegation consisting of 22 members in charge of monitoring elections in Montenegro.
Head of the Office for Democratic institutions and human rights, Mr Tomaš Mesarić, said last week that observation mission of OSCE will provide impartial observation of election process in MNE and called on the voters to adhere to all measures imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus.
He said that the main focus was on public health.
