Nikolić: Two questions will probably be sent to the Venice Commission, with two explanations

"I believe that by the end of the day today or tomorrow, the conditions will be met for Prime Minister Spajić to sign that letter so that the Venice Commission can finally receive an urgent address from the Montenegrin parliament and give us guidelines for overcoming the constitutional and political crisis in the country," said Nikolić.

The address to the Venice Commission is being coordinated by those who did not sign the agreement with Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, and this has slowed down the entire process of sending requests to the Venetians, the head of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Andrija Nikolić, announced today.

He said this at a press conference in the Parliament, responding to a question about the coordination of requests to the Venice Commission regarding developments in the Constitutional Court.

"The latest information is that two questions will probably be submitted, with two explanations. One will be supported by the parliamentary opposition, the other by the parliamentary majority, and I believe that by the end of the day or tomorrow, the conditions will be met for Prime Minister Spajić to sign that letter so that the Venice Commission can finally receive an urgent address from the Montenegrin parliament and give us guidelines for overcoming the constitutional and political crisis in the country," said Nikolić.

Vijesti reported today that although Prime Minister Milojko Spajić (Europe Now Movement) was supposed to submit a request to the Venice Commission for an opinion on developments regarding the Constitutional Court by Sunday, he has not yet done so because the government and the opposition cannot agree on the text of the request, that is, on how many questions should be sent and what they should relate to.

The text of the request is being written on behalf of the government by Justice Minister Bojan Božović (Europe Now Movement), while the opposition has entrusted the task to lawyer Miloš Vukčević.
