Montenegrin Prime Minister and deputy leader of the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists, DPS, Duško Marković, commented on the positive opinion of the Venice Commission concerning the Draft Law on Freedom of Religion, and emphasized that Montenegro has got the confirmation of its freedom, independence and democratic potential.
“The Venice Commission confirmed our freedom, independence and democratic potential. The Constitution guarantees the State the right to determine all social issues – not with the intention to cause damage to anyone, but in the interest of every citizen and his/her rights and freedoms. The same will happen with this Law! We won’t determine who will go to churches and monasteries and when to do that, but those churches and monasteries belong to the people of Montenegro, that is, the State, and no one can deny it,” PM Marković told at the DPS’s municipal conference in Kolašin.
He also said Montenegro could prove its democratic and development results in every moment, at the same time stressing the importance of the development projects and investment for the prosperity of the Municipality of Kolašin and better standard of living of its residents.
The conference was attended by 160 delegates.
