Something unusual happened in Montenegro that should be routine but rarely is – the Parliamentary Committee on International Relations unanimously approved the government’s nominations for new ambassadors! Yes, you read that right, unanimously! The government proposed Dubravka Lalović as ambassador to France and Marija Lakić Barfus as ambassador to Switzerland, and every single committee member said “yes” with no votes against or abstentions. Is this a sign that things are finally moving in the right direction, or just another formality? Either way, this decision passed as smooth as butter, which is a rarity in Montenegro’s political waters these days.
Imagine that – while other areas often see fierce debates and conflicts, here there was consensus as if everyone was on the same wavelength. Is it because the candidates are just that good, or because politics decided to take a breather? Whatever the reason, this decision is important because ambassadors are key players in international relations and represent the country abroad. France and Switzerland are significant countries, so choosing the right people for these posts matters a lot.
Of course, it all went smoothly because the government proposed the candidates and the committee just confirmed them. But let’s not be too skeptical – maybe this is the start of a new era in Montenegrin diplomacy. Or maybe not? Either way, if you have thoughts on how ambassadors are chosen or what you think about these appointments, feel free to drop a comment below. Maybe your word will spark the next big debate!
And hey, if you thought this was just another boring news piece, think again – unanimity in politics is rare, so this is a real little sensation. Who knows, maybe other committees will take a page from this and start working together instead of against each other. Until then, keep following us for more news that will make you wonder what’s really going on behind the scenes in Montenegrin politics.
