Remarks to the Proposed Law on Freedom of Religion or Belief and Legal Status of Religious Communities in Montenegro
We submit Remarks with appropriate proposals to the Proposed Law on Freedom of Religion or Belief and Legal Status of Religious Communities in Montenegro, defined by the Government of Montenegro on its 121st session on May 16, 2019.
We point out in particular that competent Ministry of Human and Minority Rights and the Government of Montenegro neither before defining the Draft Law on Freedom of Religion in 2015, nor from 2015 until defining the Proposed Law on Freedom of Religion or Belief and Legal Status of Religious Communities in 2019 initiated a public, permanent and institutional dialogue with the Church and religious communities in Montenegro on this very important social issue.
