Šušić on the removal of Pavličić: If the Constitutional Court ever makes a decision, it will be in accordance with the interests of the Government

"It is very indicative that in a case like this which, in accordance with the coexisting practice of the Constitutional Court until now, should have been resolved in a very short period in a very simple way, that in such a case the decision is made, or not made, by overvoting judge"

The decision of the Constitutional Court in the case of changes to the Regulation on the representative of Montenegro before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, which resulted in the removal of Valentina Pavličić, if ever adopted, will be in accordance with the interests of the Government.

Valentina Pavličić's lawyer, Mitar Šušić, told Television Vijesti.

At today's session, the Constitutional Court did not make a decision on launching an initiative on whether the Government's amendment to the Regulation on the representative of Montenegro before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg is in accordance with the Constitution, so it will be declared again.

By changing the Regulation, the Government dismissed the current MP Valentina Pavličić and appointed judge Katarina Peković in her place.

"It is very indicative that in a case like this which, in accordance with the coexisting practice of the Constitutional Court until now, should have been resolved in a very short period in a very simple way, that in such a case the decision is made, or not made, by overvoting judge. I really hope that the public will not be deprived of a meritorious decision, so that the initiative will be accepted and the constitutionality will be discussed, so let the court say whether it is constitutional or not and give an explanation, because it would really be a shame if let's miss hearing from colleagues from the Constitutional Court who are experienced lawyers, I guess they are about to retire, to hear the explanation of such a decision, so that we, the younger ones, can also learn something in this case, the decision should be made in accordance with what are the interests of the executive power in this case, and not what are the interests of constitutionality and legality," Sušić pointed out.
