The Declaration of the Stabilization and Association Parliamentary Committee (SAPC), which was adopted in Brussels, clearly confirmed what the citizens of Montenegro increasingly recognize - that Montenegrin institutions, and especially the security sector, have resolutely embarked on a fight against organized crime and corruption, said the head of the Democrats parliamentary group, Boris Bogdanović.
He reminds that the party's MP, Anđela Vojinović, also participated in the work of the POSP.
"The Declaration explicitly welcomes the decisive steps taken by the Montenegrin authorities in the fight against organized crime and corruption, as well as the clearly expressed political will to wage this fight continuously, comprehensively and without exceptions. This confirmation of the POSP comes as a result of concrete moves made by the security authorities in the previous period, including: launching complex investigations against organized crime groups, exposing corruption networks in state structures, dismantling parallel systems of power within the police and security structures, which resulted in numerous suspensions," Bogdanović announced.
The Montenegrin security sector, he believes, "is proving that it is capable and determined to protect the interests of citizens and the state, without compromise, without privileged individuals, and without political calculations."
"Yesterday's trust expressed by the POSP shows that professionalism, integrity and courage of institutions are becoming the new basis of Montenegro's relations with European partners," said Bogdanović.
In the same document, he adds, the POSP specifically encourages the Montenegrin authorities to continue implementing comprehensive and consistent reforms in the field of justice, which are "essential for the long-term victory over organized crime."
"This is a strong incentive, but also a responsibility. I am certain that security institutions will work professionally and dedicatedly because the fight against crime is a matter of the survival and dignity of our country," the statement reads.
