Due to the sensitivity of the topic and the protection of personal data, the session of the Radio Television of Montenegro (RTCG) Council, which is discussing the allocation of apartments, is closed to the public, announced the president of that body, Veselin Drljević.
"I will propose to the members of the Council that we close this session to the public. If we close it, we will ask the media to understand us. After April 22, we will inform the public through a press release, which we have the right to do."
Five members voted in favor of this, and the Vice President of the RTCG Council, Marijana Camović Velicković, did not vote.
The Public Service Council sent an announcement two days ago, emphasizing that media and photojournalists can be accredited for today's session.
Drljević said that according to the Rules of Procedure of the RTCG Council, he has the right to close the session to the public.
Balša Milić, a representative of the legal service, said that when discussing some personal matters "such as marital status, property status, minor children," the session should be closed to the public.
"To avoid speculation, we contacted the Personal Data Protection Agency (AZLP), where they confirmed that this type of session is mandatory for closure. It's up to you to decide," Milić specified.
Drljević said that they have never run away from the media, adding that he believes that the media would also be uncomfortable if others heard about their privacy.
The session is also attended by the commission for the distribution of apartments, headed by Vjekoslav Mikulić.
In February, the public service published a ranking list for solving the housing needs of employees, according to which 90 workers should receive real estate on favorable terms - for 705 euros per square meter.
As "Vijesti" previously wrote, 191 workers responded to the RTCG advertisement, and some of the workers who remained below the line announced complaints, because they are dissatisfied with the way the Commission for Resolving Housing Needs did its job.
The criteria for resolving housing needs, according to the Rulebook adopted in 2024, were: the importance of the job, the existing housing situation, the number of family household members, disability, length of service, and social status.
