Weak representation of minority
population in public institutions
Since Civic Alliance has started to monitor this area in 2008, the results of research show that
public institutions are closed for minority population and that the level of discrimination is high.
The Institution of the Protector reported on inadequate representation, even eight years ago.
The latest results from 2015 showed that the situation has not changed and that inadequate
national representation is still present. This is opposite to Article 79 of the Constitution of Montenegro
that guarantees minorities the right to authentic representation in the Parliament of
Montenegro, in units of local self-government, in which they represent a significant part of population,
and right to proportional representation in public services and public authority bodies
and local self-government.
