The candidates for members of the Council of the Agency for Electronic Media (AEM), according to the list established today by the Administrative Board, are Edin Koljenović and Andrijana Nikolić. The administrative committee determined the list unanimously, and the opposition representatives Suzana Pribilović (DPS), Damir Šehović (SD) and Kenana Strujić Harbić (BS) also attended the session. The opposition has been boycotting the work of the parliament since the end of last year.
The competition was announced in the middle of December last year, and it is foreseen that non-governmental organizations dealing with the protection of human rights and freedoms choose one member, and the other association of commercial broadcasters.
The President of the Administrative Board, Milun Zogović, said that the proposal of 58 NGOs was submitted for Edin Koljenović, while the Association of Commercial Broadcasters of Montenegro proposed Andrijana Nikolić.
The coordinator of the working group that reviewed the submitted documentation, Vladimir Martinović (Democrats), said that the documentation was properly reviewed and that 58 of the 15 NGO proposals were not complete.
He also "expressed his satisfaction that colleagues from the opposition are present because the work is much nicer in their presence."
Pribilović told Martinović "don't welcome us, this is ours as much as yours".
The board proposed to the General Secretary of the Assembly that the members of the working group be assigned a variable part of their salary. There were no members of the opposition in the working group.
Strujić Harbić asked Zogović for clarification of that proposal, who said that this was the practice in the previous convocation as well and that the working group reviewed more than a thousand documents.
Strujić Harbić had an objection to Zogović's tone.
"I didn't have any ulterior motives and don't answer me in that tone, I just needed certain clarifications considering that I am in the Board for the first time. Only if you can lower the decibels a little, I can hear very well," said Strujić Harbić.
Zogović replied that the suggestion was appropriate, but that it was not his intention to leave such an impression. "It was not my intention that you experience my tonality in such a way," said Zogović.
The board also accepted the decision on the termination of compensation upon termination of office to the former Minister of Science, Sanja Damjanović, due to the establishment of an employment relationship, at a personal request.
The board also issued a decision on the right to severance pay for the former judge of the Constitutional Court, Hamdija Šarkinović, due to his retirement.
The Administrative Board sent another urgency to the clubs of deputies to propose candidates for members of the Board of the Regulatory Agency.
