In light of the current debate on the issue of the non-working week and the legal uncertainty arising from temporary and ad hoc solutions until a new decision by the Constitutional Court of Montenegro, we believe that it is necessary to open a serious and responsible dialogue on a permanent and systemic solution to this issue.
This was announced tonight by the Secretary General of the Socialist People's Party (SNP), Dragan Vukić.
"If 62 MPs voted for the legal solution on the non-working week, a logical question arises - what is controversial about this issue being permanently and unambiguously defined through amendments to the Constitution of Montenegro, for which a two-thirds majority of 54 MPs is required?", Vukić pointed out in a statement.
According to him, issues concerning employee rights, dignity of work, family protection and social stability must not be subject to temporary solutions that depend on future court decisions or political calculations.
"The constitutional definition of a non-working week would ensure the permanence, legal certainty and clarity of the legal system in Montenegro. Citizens and employees have the right to stable and predictable solutions, not to constant changes that create uncertainty in the business and social environment. If there is qualified political will expressed through the support of the majority of MPs, it is responsible to initiate the process of constitutional amendments and resolve this issue at the highest legal level," he said.
Vukić added that they are calling on all political entities to view this issue beyond daily political interests and show readiness to achieve a permanent and systemic solution in the interests of citizens.
"It is time to move from temporary and ad hoc decisions to a serious, sustainable and institutionally based approach," he concluded.
