The North-Atlantic Alliance Parliamentary Assembly (NATO PA) consists of parliamentary delegations elected among the MPs of national parliaments of NATO member states, requiring that the composition of the delegation represents the political balance in the national parliament. One of the main tasks of the Parliamentary Assembly is to promote a common feeling of Atlantic solidarity and to further the aims and values of the Atlantic Alliance.
Subject to the approval of the Assembly, the Standing Committee may decide, by a three-quarters majority of its members present and eligible to vote, to invite delegations from parliaments of countries which are not members of NATO to participate in the work of the Parliamentary Assembly. The Standing Committee decides on the size of associate delegations and the number of delegates nominated to each Committee of the Assembly.
Delegation of the Parliament of Montenegro to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly participates as an associate member and therefore has the right to attend the plenary sittings of the Assembly, as well as seminars and meetings of the Parliamentary Assembly committees, unless decided otherwise by the Standing Committee. Furthermore, members of the Delegation may speak and propose amendments, but are not entitled to vote.
