OSCE Mission welcomes agreement to end impasse in Montenegro's parliament
PODGORICA, 7 October 2008 - Ambassador Paraschiva Badescu, Head of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, welcomed today the agreement reached by Montenegro's Parliament Collegium to end a long-standing impasse on live broadcasts of parliamentary plenary sessions, and commended all parties involved for their contributions towards successfully negotiating a compromise.
"The agreement represents yet another positive step for Montenegro in overcoming disputes and conflicts through constructive negotiations in dialogue and at the same time contributing also to the strengthening of the Parliament itself," Badescu said.
"The OSCE Mission was pleased to support the parties in identifying possible solutions, but the process of negotiation and its successful outcome fully belong to the parties involved."
