Montenegro RTCG Council election law dispute

Overview

The Parliament of Montenegro voted for candidates to the Council of Radio and Television of Montenegro (RTCG) through individual votes, which observers claim breaches article 29(2) of the election law requiring a single list vote.

Critics and media organizations suggest this action constitutes political interference and repeats past patterns of manipulation that previously resulted in judicial proceedings. While the European Union delegation urged the parliament to follow legal procedures, the request was reportedly ignored. Civil society groups are now calling for a formal condemnation from the EU and for the state prosecutor to address pending criminal complaints regarding the selection process.
