Picula: All political actors must respect state symbols of Montenegro

Tonino Picula

Commencement of work of the new Parliament of Montenegro is the first step towards the formation of the new government. Statement made by newly appointed president of the Parliament, Mr Aleksa Bečić, is highly encouraging. He announced resumption of reforms and emphasized the importance of the EU path.

“I expect continuous and productive cooperation with the new Parliament of Montenegro, committed work on Montenegro’s progress, especially in key areas of the negotiation process. As the most important representation body, the new Parliament must cherish cooperation, dialogue and constructive discussions, despite political differences. That’s the key for successful parliamentary democracy”, said Mr Tonino Picula, EP Rapporteur for Montenegro.

Unfortunately, the new Parliament will have only 19 female MPs, three less than in the previous one.

Mr Picula holds that institutions, symbols and the Constitution of Montenegro deserve maximum respect. He calls on all political actors in Montenegro to respect state symbols and institutions of Montenegro and act in accordance with constitutional principles.
