SNP: Of the seven members of the Constitutional Court, more than half will be politically oriented

Socialist People's Party (SNP) MP Neven Gošović assessed that Vujanović's proposal should be based on Marković's achieved results in the previous term, reminding of the party's initiatives to evaluate the constitutionality of various government decisions, which did not receive an answer for three years. the court does not have the professional courage to make decisions that are not in accordance with the interests of the outgoing prime minister, how can we talk about the independence of that court", he said. Predrag Bulatović from the SNP stated that at least four of the seven members of the Constitutional Court will be party-oriented. "Radović is a member of the DPS." He cannot be nominated, unless he has personally submitted his resignation from party membership to you," he said. It is obvious, Bulatović believes, that political struggles are beginning within the governing structures, in which the state is also involved.

Vujanović's proposal of "playing" with the institution of the Constitutional Court

In such countries, he added, the president of the Constitutional Court is among the top five people in the country. Labudović believes that 98 percent of citizens, if a survey were conducted among them, would not know who the president of the Constitutional Court is. "Isn't that enough fact to make you think about your choice", Labudović asked Vujanović. He asked what Marković showed in the previous mandate, except that "he is a loyal party official, who protects constitutionality and the rule of law from the perspective of the Democratic Party of Socialists". Labudović stated that in NOVA they have the same or "black" position on Vujanović's proposal that Radović be elected as a judge of the Constitutional Court. "If justice is what he has demonstrated so far, then we ask you to evict it from Montenegro," he said. Labudović accused Radović that during his ministry he only tried to "properly arrange" his family in the institutions of Montenegro.

The ruling coalition is enthusiastic about the proposals

Social Democratic Party MP Ervin Spahić said that the references of Radović and Marković are impressive and should be supported. DPS MP Predrag Sekulić also believes that the professional potential of Marković and Radović is "without doubt". Vujanović, responding to the opposition's assessments, said that the president and judges of the Constitutional Court, as well as the members of the Judicial Council, should be elected by a two-thirds majority in the parliament and that this should be regulated by amendments to the legislation. organized crime and corruption. Vujanović believes that Radović had a "great" career as a judge, as well as that he judged very difficult cases. Vujanović also assessed that it would be good for the Constitutional Court to have a judge like Radović, adding that the minister in resignation was never an activist of any party, nor a member of the DPS Presidency.
