Parliamentary Committee Debates Amendments to the Protection and Rescue Law!
Today, a ten-hour session of the Security and Defense Committee is scheduled in the Red Hall of the Parliament of Montenegro. The topic? A proposed amendment to the Law on Protection and Rescue, submitted by Democrat MP Dušan Stijepović. Will this session mark a turning point for Montenegro’s protection and rescue system, or will it be just another meeting with no real progress?
Why does this matter?
The protection and rescue system is crucial for citizens’ safety, especially in emergencies like traffic accidents, natural disasters, and other crises. For example, recently, rescue teams quickly responded to a traffic accident on the Cetinje-Budva road, where two people were injured and transported to the Clinical Center of Montenegro. Quick and efficient rescue operations can save lives, but is the system good enough and ready for all challenges?
What do the amendments propose?
The full details of the proposed law are not yet public, but it’s clear that this is an attempt to improve the existing protection and rescue law. MP Stijepović and the Democrats want to make the system more efficient, transparent, and better coordinated. This is vital for a country facing numerous security challenges.
Will political will match the words?
What worries many is that in Montenegro, good ideas often remain just on paper. Will this time be different? Will MPs have the strength and will to support amendments that can save lives and improve the system? Or will it end like before — with promises but no concrete results?
Conclusion
The Security and Defense Committee session is an opportunity to take a step forward in protecting Montenegro’s citizens. The protection and rescue system must be ready to respond to all challenges, and clear, effective legal regulations are needed. We’ll see if politics will back the words and bring real change.
So, what do you think? Will anything really change, or is this just another show for the public? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
