Pažin: We’ll become EU Member State if competent institutions assume full responsibility

Montenegro will become EU member only if all competent institutions show responsibility at all levels, said Vice-President of the Government, Mr Zoran Pažin during session of the Council on the Rule of Law.

Head of the EU Delegation to Montenegro, Mr Aivo Orav, also attended the session, during which European Commission unofficial working document (non-paper) on the rule of law was presented.

“Although EC stated progress in many key areas of the rule of law, I want to focus on the areas where we can and must do better. Institutions in charge of the rule of law must show more than responsible work, individual and institutional quality. That will be possible when all institutions assume full responsibility at all levels”, said Mr Pažin.

He pointed out that there was no room for a laid back atmosphere in performing duties. Results, Mr Pažin says, need to be essential and citizens must feel them.

According to Mr Orav, European Commission recognizes and welcomes Montenegro’s progress in the adoption of EU regulation and development of institutions. However, Mr Orav points at remaining challenges.
