Mugoša: There is silence on the scene regarding the European Commission's assessment of the unconstitutionality of the majority's decision regarding Judge Đuranović

According to the head of the SD parliamentary group, it is very interesting how representatives of some parties are eagerly awaiting the opinion of the Venice Commission, even though they have so far relativized and derogated from these opinions.

The European Union announced that Mugoša commented on the assessments from the European Commission's Non-Paper regarding Montenegro's progress in negotiation chapters 23 and 24.

"There is silence on the scene regarding the European Commission's assessment of the unconstitutionality of the majority's decision regarding Judge Đuranović. Silence, even though we have clearly and well-intentionedly pointed out that some things are not being done not because of any emotions towards the said judge, but because of the fact that democracy is not the rule of the majority, as one of its stars happily stated, but rather democracy is the rule of law. A silence that must be broken by all those who have been the loudest in their speeches that everything is in accordance with the Constitution (ruling political parties, the Prime Minister, relevant vice presidents and ministers, various experts from this or that sector, candidates for the most serious positions who consider themselves to be prominent lawyers...)," said Mugoša.

According to him, it is very interesting how representatives of some parties are eagerly awaiting the opinion of the Venice Commission, even though they have so far relativized and derogated from those opinions.

"Instead of rhetorical self-praise about Montenegro's rush towards the EU, it would be better for government decision-makers to read once again, this time in detail, the European Commission's Non-Paper, which refers to Montenegro's progress in negotiation chapters 23 and 24. It clearly contains everything that testifies to their practice of consciously slowing down Montenegro's EU path," said Mugoša.
