Meeting of NGO representatives with the Prime Minister

At the meeting with Prime Minister Dusko Markovic, held in December 2019, we raised important issues regarding the protection of victims, institutional discrimination and passivity of institutions in the protection of women’s and children’s rights, with special reference to some of the recent cases we are monitoring. We also mentioned the issue of lack of protection of children who witness domestic violence and asked for a concrete answer on how the Government of Montenegro will solve these problems. We received a response from the Prime Minister that these topics will be discussed at the Rule of Law Council and the Collegium for Negotiations with the EU and that the recommendations will be made public so that they can be followed by representatives of the NGO sector.
