The Parliament's legal service is working on finding a solution for exercising the right to citizenship of Montenegrin emigrants in Turkey, said the head of the parliament Andrija Mandić.
He spoke with the vice-president of the Diaspora Council of the Government and the representative of the community of emigrants from Montenegro in Turkey, Bedrio Gul Muković.
As reported by the Assembly, Mandić informed Gul Muković that, according to the agreement of the meeting with the representatives of expatriate associations during his official visit to Turkey, the issue of exercising the right to citizenship of Montenegrin expatriates has been raised in the parliament and that the legal department is already working on finding an adequate solution.
Gul Muković, as stated, thanked for the dedicated cooperation, pointing out that no parliamentary convocation has so far expressed the ambition to launch this initiative and show such sensitivity towards emigrants.
"The respect you have shown to us is a great victory for the morale of our emigrants," said Gul Muković.
It is stated that the interlocutors considered the idea of a joint meeting with the presidents of municipalities from Turkey who are of Montenegrin origin.
"They concluded that it is extremely important to find a valid way to enable people, who are tied to this region by heart and roots, to become citizens of Montenegro," the statement said.
