Members of the Democratic Front (DF) Milutin Đukanović and Janko Vučinić will not be punished for the insults they uttered in the parliament against the Deputy Prime Minister Zoran Pažin and the Speaker of the Parliament Ivan Brajović, it was confirmed to "Vijesta" from the Assembly.
"Deputies of the Democratic Front, Milutin Đukanović and Janko Vučinić, were not imposed measures for breach of order at the session of the Parliament of Montenegro held on December 20, 2017, so accordingly they will not be prosecuted," the parliament informed "Vijesta".
After Brajović cut him off, Vučinić told the Speaker of the Parliament during the session devoted to parliamentary questions that he "interrupted him in the middle of a sentence, dishonestly, as a joke". His colleague Đukanović called Pažin a "bastard".
Vučinić previously said that he does not expect punishment because, as he claims, he was only responding to "insults that Brajović sent to him when he interrupted him."
Member of the Presidency of the Democratic Front, Milan Knežević, was previously fined 10 percent of the MP's salary after the Vice President of the Assembly, Branimir Gvozdenović, gave him a public reprimand. Gvozdenović issued a warning to Knežević after a verbal conflict during which the Front deputy told him that the special state prosecutor Milivoje Katnić "keeps him in a drawer, as one of the capitalists with the former mayor of Podgorica, Miomir Mugoš, and that he is bragging about it."
After his salary was reduced by 140 euros due to the insults of his colleague, Knežević will remain the only member of parliament who was fined for numerous incidents that occurred in the parliament during 2017.
The Parliament of Montenegro recently, after a series of incidents in which the main actors were MPs from the Front, amended the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament and prescribed fines for insults. The amendments to the Rules of Procedure were initiated by the deputies of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).
