Prior to the meeting, students toured parliamentary building and saw parliamentary collections. At the end of the visit, high school students and university students followed the session of the Parliament of Montenegro from the Citizens Lodge.

The visit is organised within the project of celebrating the civic education week, within the programme that would give an opportunity to the select seniors from Montenegrin high schools and freshmen from the Montenegrin universities to, through lectures, visits the state institutions, media, and NGOs learn more about the development of democracy in Montenegro, civic activism, and the role that every active citizen in a society should perform, as well as the manner in which different subjects in Montenegrin society contribute to the development of the state.
