PM Marković pays official visit to Supreme Court of Montenegro

Podgorica, Montenegro (25 April 2018) -- President of Supreme Court Vesna Medenica and Prime Minister Duško Marković noted today at a meeting in the Supreme Court that the cooperation between the judiciary and the executive authorities is good and that further synergy is needed in order for Montenegro to be recognised by citizens and the international public as a state with a strong rule of law and legal certainty.

President Medenica presented to the Prime Minister the results of the work of the Montenegrin courts in 2017, the progress made in the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of the judiciary, the respect of conventional rights and the challenges faced by the courts in the application of new organisational and procedural solutions.

Prime Minster Marković pointed out that he is, as a Prime Minister, proud that the exceptional results of the work of the courts are recognised by the European Commission because they are precisely the key to the process of joining the European Union, as well as the inflow of foreign investments.

The two officials concluded that quality inter-institutional cooperation is necessary in order to overcome the problems identified in practice by improving the legal solutions, improving the judicial infrastructure, but also to consider the possibilities of legal protection of the integrity of the courts and judges.
