Podgorica, (MINA) – Montenegro, as the frontrunner in the EU accession process, must be even more committed to the implementation of European standards in the judiciary, President Milo Djukanovic has stated.
Speaking at a ceremony in Cetinje celebrating the Days of the Montenegrin Judiciary, Djukanovic said that efficient, effective and accountable judiciary is the foundation for the accomplishment of political and legal ideals of the rule of law, on which the EU has been built.
“Montenegro, as the first EU candidate country that started the accession talks by opening chapters 23 and 24 needs to work even harder to implement the European standards in the area of the judiciary,” Djukanovic noted.
It needs to do that, the President argued, not because of its EU accession commitments but first and foremost for the sake of improving the quality of life of its citizens, protecting human rights and freedoms and ensuring a stable business environment for foreign investors.
