Montenegro’s Parliament Obsessed with Francophonie: Digitalization, AI, and Diplomatic Dance in Paris
Get ready for a diplomatic spectacle and digital innovation because Montenegro’s Parliament is on a mission to become a true francophone star! General Secretary Boban Stanišić revealed grand plans at the 50th session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Francophonie in Paris from July 8 to 13. These plans include creating a website in French and establishing a Francophonie office. The goal? To strengthen ties with parliaments of francophone countries and position Montenegro as a serious player on the international stage.
Diplomatic Dance in Paris
Stanišić held a series of bilateral meetings with the general secretaries of the French Senate and National Assembly, highlighting strong bilateral relations and France’s support for Montenegro’s EU accession process. But that’s not all! They exchanged experiences on how to better connect the parliaments of the two countries. Montenegro plans to boost its administrative capacities, improve working conditions, and introduce digitalization and artificial intelligence into parliamentary work.
Digital Revolution in Parliament
Yes, you read that right — artificial intelligence! Stanišić announced that an AI development strategy will be ready by the end of the year, aiming to develop tools to assist MPs and staff in legislative work. Who would have thought Montenegro would lead a digital revolution in parliamentary work?
Francophonie as the New Trend
Establishing a Francophonie office is not just a formality. It’s a diplomatic move to position Montenegro as a country that values international cooperation and wants to deepen ties with francophone countries. Participation in international events like the Parliamentary Assembly of the Francophonie and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean offers opportunities to expand influence and strengthen cooperation.
What Does This Mean for Citizens?
You might wonder — how does this affect ordinary people? Well, digitalization and AI in Parliament could mean faster and more efficient lawmaking, better transparency, and modernization of state institutions. Strengthening international ties could bring new opportunities for Montenegro on the European and global stage.
Conclusion
While the world grapples with numerous crises, Montenegro chooses to focus on a digital future and francophone diplomacy. Is this the right path or just another diplomatic dance with no real impact? Time will tell. But one thing is clear — Montenegro’s Parliament doesn’t plan to stay in the shadows.
