Many are announcing that they will sign for life, but the number of donors who have signed is still much lower than promised.
An example of this is the representatives in the highest legislative house.
They mostly support donor cards, but only a few dare to sign them.
Among them is one of the representatives of the younger generation, Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) MP Nikola Rakočević.
We differ in our bank cards, and those differences may be large and insurmountable.
Donorism, on the other hand, gives us the opportunity not only to be equal, but also richer than others, even though we have a deficit in our account.
DPS MP Nikola Rakočević realized this a few years ago.
"I have been a donor card signatory since 2018 or 2019. You can save someone's life, what more humane thing can you do in your lifetime than to provide the conditions to help someone else survive or live a better life," Rakočević pointed out.
Authorities have been trying to encourage donation in Montenegro for years, but they haven't had much success.
They are also trying to do this through this year's "Signature for Life" campaign.
Citizen representatives in the highest legislative house also affirm the signing of donor cards, but despite this, few have moved from words to action.
"The formality is signing a card for someone who has decided to do something like that, I think it is the duty of every healthcare worker, first of all healthcare workers should all sign these donor cards," said Vladimir Dobricanin, a member of parliament from United Montenegro.
"Of course we all need to think and be empathetic and contribute, in any case I will be the one. A good campaign should be run so that people understand that our organ donation will save someone's life," said Branka Marković, a member of parliament for the Europe Now Movement (PES).
"You have a situation where people who donate, for example, a kidney while they are alive and continue to live with one kidney are rightly given as positive examples. That's incredible. These people deserve special respect because in that way they saved someone's life. It's even easier with donor cards, when you definitely don't need it anymore, you help someone to extend their life," said Miloš Konatar, MP for the Civic Movement URA.
Unfortunately or fortunately, all of our lives have an expiration date, but what if you could live forever...by donating a kidney, a heart, a new breath to someone?
"We need to be humane, to do one good deed in our lifetime," said Rakočević.
