Representatives of the ruling majority and a part of the parliamentary opposition have signed a political agreement, with assistance of the EU Delegation in Podgorica, thus paving the way for the launch of constitutional amendment procedures and renewed cooperation on key reforms.
The agreement commits the parties to amend the laws on internal affairs and the National Security Agency (ANB), while seeking broad political consensus on parliamentary appointments, including members of the Fiscal Council, Judicial Council, Constitutional Court and the RTCG Council. It also envisages further electoral reform and the establishment of a working group to strengthen oversight mechanisms aimed at preventing the misuse of state resources during election campaigns.
The leader of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Danijel Zivkovic, said the deal created the conditions for parliament to open the constitutional amendment process immediately and implement the agreed measures over the next two months. He welcomed the compromise, noting that around 90% of the opposition’s reform platform had been accepted.
European Alliance MP, Boris Mugosa, said the agreement followed months of unnecessary rejection of the opposition’s proposals, arguing that the platform had correctly identified the key challenges on Montenegro’s path to EU membership.
Croatian Civic Initiative MP, Adrijan Vuksanovic, described the agreement as an important step towards rebuilding political trust and advancing Montenegro’s European integration ahead of future elections.
