The competences of the highest state bodies, namely the Parliament, the President and the Government, cannot be regulated by laws, because they are already established by the Constitution of Montenegro, warns law professor and former president of the Constitutional Court Blagota Mitric.

In an interview for Pobjeda, he says that the amendments to the Law on the President, recently proposed by the Democratic Front, violate the constitutional norm that regulates the issue of the competence of the president of the state.

“In my opinion, amendments to the Law on the President, which refer to his incompetence, cannot be regulated by law, because that would be a classic violation of the constitutional provision contained in Article 95 of the Constitution”, Mitric points out.
