The Committee established the text of the Public Notice and Application Form of proposal for appointment of members of the Council of the Agency for Electronic Media, and decided to submit the Public Notice for publishing by 15 July of the current year, to the “Official Gazette of Montenegro”, website of the Parliament and printed media “Pobjeda”, “Dan”, “Dnevne novine” and independent daily “Vijesti”. 

The Committee also discussed the Request by the Senate of the Old Royal Capital of 11 May 2015 with regard to the Decision on Amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Senate of the Old Royal Capital. With regard to that, the Committee concluded that Article 82 of the Constitution of Montenegro clearly determined the competences of the Parliament of Montenegro, while the Rules of Procedure of the Senate of the Royal Capital shall not impose obligations to the Parliament of Montenegro i.e. the Administrative Committee to appoint two deputy representatives of the Parliament of Montenegro in the Senate of the Old Royal Capital.
