PM Marković meets with EP Delegation: Church places itself above State which is wrong and unacceptable in civilised world
Published on: Feb 25, 2020 • 7:35 PM Author: PR Service
Prime Minister Duško Marković hosted a delegation of the European Parliament led by the Chairman of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Vladimír Bilčík.
The Prime Minister informed the EP delegation about the Government's strategic policies, excellent economic indicators, which include, among other things, excellent economic growth, among the leading ones in Europe, high level of foreign direct investment, increase in the number of tourists and reduction of unemployment, as well as about our European agenda.
"Montenegro understands the European context and works in line with its commitment as a modern country that is being developed democratically and economically as part of Europe," PM Marković said.
Speaking about the situation following the adoption of the Law on Freedom of Religion or Belief and the Legal Status of Religious Communities, the Prime Minister said that the Church in Montenegro places itself above the state, not recognising its sovereignty and independence, and expressing its ambition to decide on political actors or influence the election of government. "This is wrong, unacceptable and intolerable in the civilised world," the Prime Minister said. In this context, Prime Minister Duško Marković expressed the determination of the state authorities to preserve peace and stability, as they have done for the past thirty years, while respecting the freedoms of every citizen, but also maintaining the constitutional and democratic order.
MEPs were also interested in environmental issues, transport connectivity, first and foremost within the European transport corridors and the Berlin Process.
