The President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, announced tonight that he is encouraged by the fact that none of the members of the Parliament of Montenegro voted against his proposal to elect Mirjana Vučinić as a judge of the Constitutional Court.
"I thank all the MPs who supported my proposal for the election of a judge of the Constitutional Court. It is also encouraging that none of the MPs voted against the proposal, and I am open to additional discussions with all MPs next week, as I announced in Parliament. Dialogue - always; but trading in the Constitution and the state - never," Milatović wrote on the social network Iks.
Vučinić, Jovan Jovanović and Mirjana Radović were not elected as judges of the Constitutional Court today.
None of the candidates received a two-thirds majority in the first round of voting for members of the Parliament of Montenegro.
16 MPs voted for Vučinić's election, while 44 abstained.
Jovanović's election was supported by 45 MPs, while one was against and five abstained.
44 MPs voted for Radović, one was against, and five abstained.
Members of the Montenegrin Parliament today discussed the candidates for judges of the Constitutional Court proposed by the Constitutional Committee and Milatović, whose election in the first round of voting required a two-thirds majority in the Assembly, or 54 votes.
Milatović previously submitted a proposal to the Parliament to elect Mirjana Vučinić as a judge of the Constitutional Court, while the Constitutional Committee proposed Mirjana Radović and Jovan Jovanović.
Given that the candidates did not receive the required majority in the first round, a second round of voting will be organized within a month at the earliest, in which, according to the Constitution, three-fifths support is required, or the votes of 49 MPs.
