The Bosniak party welcomed the Draft Law on Freedom of Religion adopted by the Government, and through the further procedure, they say, they will support the adoption of this law.
In that party, they believe that this is a modern legal solution that respects the religious and ethnic diversity of Montenegro and protects the rights of members of all religious communities.
"The civic concept of our country can only be strengthened through respect for its social stratification, religious coexistence and respect for all cultural identities that make up its social being. That is why it is necessary to adopt legal solutions that will create a realistic framework for the smooth functioning of all religious communities and define their equal rights, as well as obligations, on the basis of the Constitution and in compliance with international standards," announced BS.
For them, they point out, it is very important that this law does not call into question the Agreement that the state signed with the Islamic community in any way.
"The law guarantees respect for the level of rights achieved in the previous period and opens up space for them to be further strengthened and improved. It is very important to create permanent mechanisms for the protection of the particularity of all religious communities, especially with respect to the respect of the specificity of their identity, as well as the protection of religious buildings and their property. We believe that through further improvements in legal solutions, space will be created for speeding up the process of restitution and recovery of property rights or compensation for the usurped property of religious communities in earlier social systems," the BS emphasizes.
The country of Montenegro, they conclude, is on the path of democratic development and should constantly improve the space for nurturing diversity and full respect for religious rights and freedoms as one of the key carriers of its civic identity.
