Milatović Announces Vacancy for Constitutional Court Judge in Montenegro – Who Will Be the New Guardian of Justice?
Ready for another round of legal drama in Montenegro? The President of the country, Jakov Milatović, has officially announced a public call for the selection of one judge of the Constitutional Court of Montenegro. Yes, you read that right – they are looking for a new guardian of justice because the mandate of Judge Desanka Lopičić has expired, and it’s time to fill this crucial position.
What’s going on?
At the Constitutional Court session on June 26, it was confirmed that Judge Lopičić’s mandate is ending. According to constitutional and legal prerequisites, President Milatović promptly responded and announced a public call for the selection of a new judge. Candidates have 45 days to apply, and the call is open to prominent lawyers who meet the requirements prescribed by the Constitution and the law on the Constitutional Court of Montenegro.
Where and how to apply?
The public call will be published in the Official Gazette of Montenegro, available in printed media such as Dan, Vijesti, Pobjeda, and on the President of Montenegro’s website. So, no excuses – if you think you are the one who can guard the constitutional order, now is your chance to apply!
Why is this important?
The Constitutional Court is a key pillar of justice and protection of constitutionality in Montenegro. The selection of a judge is not just a formality – it is the choice of a person who will decide on the fate of laws, rights, and freedoms of citizens. That’s why it’s important to choose the best candidate, not someone who will be a puppet of political interests.
Will this selection be clean and transparent?
That’s the question everyone is asking. In Montenegro, the judiciary system is often criticized for political influence. Milatović calls on prominent lawyers to apply and contribute to the selection of the best candidate, but whether it will really be so remains to be seen.
What do other media say?
The portal Dan.me confirms the same information, emphasizing that the public call was announced in accordance with legal provisions and that the deadline for candidate applications is 45 days. They also highlight that the call will be available to the wider public, which is a step towards transparency.
Conclusion – it’s time for justice!
If you are a lawyer with integrity and a will to fight for justice, this is your chance to enter Montenegro’s history as a judge of the Constitutional Court. And if you’re not, at least follow how the drama unfolds – because it’s always entertaining to watch how justice is chosen in our parts.
And now, while we wait to see who will apply, drop a comment – who do you think is the ideal candidate? Or maybe you have a hilarious suggestion? Don’t be shy, justice loves a good laugh!
