Instead of a fanatical obsession with the character and work of the President of Montenegro, it would be expedient for PM Zdravko Krivokapić to concentrate on performing the position of Prime Minister, if he can, which has inevitably been getting away from his hands, Mr Đukanović‘s cabinet has stated today in the reaction to the Prime Minister’s statement that the President returned the prosecutorial law “from fear of being the first to be prosecuted”.
“The serious violation of the independence of the Prosecutorial Council, as well as the clearly expressed opinion of the Venice Commission that it is ‘not convinced that the scope of reforms is sufficient to prevent the risk of politicization of the Prosecutorial Council’, are just some of the reasons clearly stated by the President on the occasion of deciding on the Law on Amendments to the Law on the State Prosecutor’s Office”, the reaction says.
Finally, the reaction points out, the Prime Minister’s statement is a clear and unambiguous message to European partners and Montenegrin citizens that the adopted Bill confirms the strong political influence on the independence of the judiciary.
