On this occasion, President of the Parliament Mr Ranko Krivokapić estimated that it was very significant who would be elected by the Council as the Director of the Agency. “That should be a person with indisputable professional, moral, and human qualities, and someone who would guarantee with his/her previous life what he/she would do in the future”, pointed out Mr Krivokapić.

President Krivokapić emphasised that the Council was facing a great challenge and added that the Parliament would monitor its work.  “You are those who are accountable to us before the Director of the Agency, because you control him in the current domain, and we do it in the systemic one”, specified Mr Krivokapić.

President Krivokapić said at the meeting that it was easier to demand results than to achieve them, adding that the corruption in Montenegro had become a systemic challenge in some areas. “Those problems, when they are at a higher level, are an individual matter. When they descend deep into the system, from the counters in municipality to the Health System and even further, then it is a systemic problem”, said Mr Krivokapić. “The NATO and the EU demand that it be the high level corruption, but I think that such lack of culture of corruption should be broken at the local level as well”.

Let us recall that Ms Vanja Ćalović, Mr Ristan Stijepović, Mr Radule Žurić, Ms Goranka Vučinić, and Mr Bojan Obrenović were elected as members of the Council.
