The Institute Alternative called on the Government to put the draft action plans for the implementation of the final benchmarks in the area of ​​the rule of law up for public debate, in order to enable the participation of all interested parties.

This non-governmental organization said that it is necessary to finalize the action plans for the implementation of the final benchmarks in these chapters in a transparent process, and that this will ensure that all interested participants contribute to the best possible quality of these plans.

"Along with receiving a positive report on the fulfillment of interim benchmarks in the area of ​​the rule of law in June last year, common positions of the European Union and Montenegro were adopted for chapters 23 (Judiciary and fundamental rights) and 24 (Justice, freedom and security). The common positions for these two chapters also define the final benchmarks, which emphasize that the action plans for the rule of law must be updated.

"Since the drafting of action plans by the negotiating groups is ongoing, we call on the Government to put the draft action plans for the implementation of the final benchmarks in the area of ​​the rule of law up for public debate. Bearing in mind that these are the most important documents that will foresee the tasks and activities that need to be undertaken in the coming period in order to ensure the satisfaction of the set criteria in the areas of the judiciary, the fight against corruption, human rights and security, we believe that it is necessary to involve the wider interested public," the Institute Alternative said in a statement.
