Office of the Representative of Montenegro before the ECHR: Atlas Group's allegations are incorrect, the court has not issued or published a decision

The Office of the Representative of Montenegro before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) announced today that the Atlas Group's allegations that the ECHR accepted the Atlas Group's request against Montenegro, filed due to the revocation of licenses for two banks - "Invest Banka Montenegro" and "Atlas Banka", are not true.

"Namely, the European Court of Human Rights has not issued or published on its website a decision in the cases of Atlas Group and Atlas Invest v. Montenegro, nor has it assessed that the courts in Montenegro have violated the rights of the aforementioned applicants. Rather, the aforementioned cases are pending before the European Court of Human Rights and are at the stage where the state and the applicants have yet to submit written observations regarding the subject matter of the dispute, after which the European Court of Human Rights, after assessing the submitted statements of both parties to the proceedings, will only issue its decision," the statement states.

The Atlas Group, headed by Duško Knežević, announced earlier today that the ECHR in Strasbourg accepted the group's request against Montenegro, filed due to the revocation of licenses for two banks - "Invest Banka Montenegro" and "Atlas Banka", with the assessment that the courts in Montenegro violated the rights of the plaintiff, the Atlas Group, before all state institutions to which it addressed its request against the state of Montenegro.

The Atlas Group statement also states that the explanation of the ECHR decision, which was published on the court's official website, calls on the two parties to resolve the dispute peacefully, that is, for the parties to reach an agreement.
