The Parliament of Montenegro adopted a Proposal for amending the Constitution of Montenegro, which abolishes the immunity of members of the Government for corruption crimes.

66 MPs voted in favor of the Proposal for Amendments to the Constitution, proposed by the Government, while there were no abstentions or votes against.

Deputy Prime Minister Momo Koprivica said during a debate in parliament that the proposed change to the Constitution would ensure that no executive function would be a shield from liability for criminal offenses with an element of corruption.

Koprivica emphasized that they are changing the Constitution to limit themselves and every subsequent government.

He said that the state must not have double standards - one for citizens, one for officials.

The Government previously announced that the proposed solution amends Article 86, paragraph 4 of the Constitution and excludes the immunity of the President and members of the Government for criminal offenses against official duty, which, as they stated, constitute the core of corruption.
