Urgently elect the judges of the Constitutional Court, extraordinary elections are necessary

The State Department's special envoy for the Western Balkans, Gabrijel Eskobar, in an interview for the Atlantic Alliance on the topic "Prospects for the Euro-Atlantic path of the Western Balkans", said that the judges of the Constitutional Court must be elected urgently, and that Montenegro needs early parliamentary elections.
He expressed his concern that Montenegro lost a lot of time in the process of joining the EU, i.e. closing chapters.
"We hope that Montenegro will continue to be a leader in the accession process. The challenge now is that there is a very deep constitutional crisis. There are parties that want to push through changes to the Law on the President, without a quorum in the Constitutional Court, so if someone would like to examine the constitutionality of this act, there would be no court that could do that," said Eskobar.
After the judges of the Constitutional Court are elected and early elections are held, he adds, he must focus on important things for the people.
"These are the reform of the rule of law, the economy, the fight against organized crime, and not the things that create divisions - who is a Serb and who is a Montenegrin and who goes to which church," said Eskobar, among other things.
Asked what the barriers are that prevent American investments, Eskobar replied that it is corruption.
"That is the biggest problem of the region. Ethnic rivalries are just a mask for that. All nationalist parties in the region are also the most corrupt," he said.
