This document contains the data on interaction of parliaments in the region with their respective citizens and shows that all the countries, with the exception of Montenegro, have a well-defined legal and institutional framework for such interaction. Some parliaments, as is the case in Croatia, Serbia and Republika Srpska, have specially designated bodies for considering civic petitions and complaints, while in Macedonia this falls under domain of the Human Rights and Freedoms Commitee.
Montenegro is the only one not having the mechanisms in place considering civic petitions, nor a specially designated body to deal with these matters. For this reason, MANS is continuously taking actions and interacting with the representatives of the Parliament in order to overcome this problem in near future.
This document is based on the data procured from the parliaments in the region and their underlying regulations.
The analysis was done within the project supported by the European Union, through the EU Delegation to Montenegro, and covers five parliaments of the region. The views presented here do not necessarily reflect stance of the donor who provided financial support for the project.
