"A fully functional Constitutional Court is one of the key prerequisites for fulfilling the final benchmarks from Chapter 23 and must remain a bastion of justice, fairness and independence. After the constitutional amendments that stripped members of the Government of their immunity and stripped the Judicial Council of members of the Government, with today's vote we show that Montenegro has the capacity to implement the most demanding reforms and complete institutions. Our goal remains clear: closing all negotiation chapters by the end of this year and Montenegro's membership in the European Union in 2028," Bečić stressed in a statement.
