MANS continued monitoring of implementation of Law on Prevention of Conflict of Interest in 2011. During this period we have developed analysis on changes in wealth of 81 MPs in last six years that was published at MANS’ website.
Continuing the investigation from 2010 on the case of Minister of Foreign Affairs bank loan in amount of 100.00 Euro, MANS managed o obtain the Loan contract with one of the commercial banks in Montenegro. According to that document, the Minister repaid this amount in only two years, which was impossible in accordance with his formal incomes that was repaid in only two year. MANS investigative team continued research and since this might be a case of possible illicit enrichment.
After MANS had conducted a media campaign and lobbied for adoption of the Law Amending Law on Prevention of Conflict interests, the Government prepared a Draft Law which was adopted in the Parliament during July 2011. Since the Draft Law was very badly prepared, MANS lobbied the EC to pressure the Government to withdraw this draft proposal.
Adoption of the law was put on hold until the Government submitted amendments on the Law, which were actually based on recommendations provided by MANS. The Law was adopted at the end of July 2011.
