The European Court of Human Rights found that Montenegro is obliged to ensure the execution of domestic decisions made in favor of the former workers of the Radoje Dakić factory in Podgorica within three months, the Office of Montenegro's representative before that court announced.
"The European Court took the position that in specific cases, the competent authorities did not make all the necessary efforts to ensure full and timely execution of the decisions made in favor of the applicants at the national level", it was stated in the statement of the Office of the representative of Montenegro before the European Court.
They explained that the European Court of Human Rights today announced three judgments based on the petitions of former employees of "Radoj Dakić", who complained about the non-execution of domestic decisions made in their favor.
The Office specified that the judgments in the cases Dedić and others v. Montenegro, Adrović and others v. Montenegro and Bešović and others v. Montenegro were published, in which decisions were made based on the petitions of former employees of "Radoj Dakić" in bankruptcy.
"The European Court declared the petitions admissible, except for four applicants in the case of Bešović and others v. Montenegro, and found a violation of Article 6 paragraph 1 of the Convention (right to a fair trial) and Article 1 of Protocol 1 to the Convention (protection of property) due to non-execution of domestic decisions brought in favor of the petitioners, and against the company", it was stated in the announcement.
The court found that the defendant state is obliged to, using adequate means, within three months ensure the execution of the aforementioned domestic decisions.
The European Court rejected the petitioners' requests for just satisfaction in the name of compensation for non-material damage, bearing in mind that the Constitutional Court of Montenegro in its decisions from 2019 established a violation of the petitioners' right to a fair trial and awarded two thousand EUR to each of them.
The Office said that the judgments in question, which became final upon their adoption, are available on the website of the European Court in English.
After the translation, they will be published on the website of the Office of the Representative of Montenegro before the European Court of Human Rights (https://www.gov.me/kzcg).
