On January 14, the Administrative Court issued a ruling annulling the Government's decision of December 19, 2024, which terminated the mandate of Iva Vukoslavčević, Director General of the Directorate for Normative Affairs and Police Development at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, due to the reorganization of that department, with the adoption of a new Rulebook on Internal Organization and Systematization.
"The Administrative Court found that the defendant body, in the contested decision, did not provide clear and convincing reasons for the decision to terminate the plaintiff's mandate due to the reorganization of the body, with the entry into force of the new Rulebook on Internal Organization and Systematization, especially considering the provisions of Article 134 of the Law on Civil Servants and State Employees, which provides for cases of termination of the mandate of the head of the administrative body and a person performing the duties of a senior management staff, while pointing out that in the specific case it was necessary to examine the job description and competencies of the newly formed directorate in relation to that from the previous systematization in order to determine whether a new organizational unit of the Ministry had been formed," the Administrative Court announced.
"Since in this specific case there was a violation of the law to the detriment of the plaintiff, the court, taking into account the position expressed in the Decision of the Constitutional Court of Montenegro U-III No. 408/22 of 12.03.2024 and the Judgment of the Supreme Court Už-Uvp.br.7/24 of 18.03.2025, upheld the claim and annulled the disputed decision," the statement reads.
