Today, MANS published information on activities of the MPs at the sessions of the Parliament of Montenegro starting from November 15, 2017 and ending with the last session in this month. During this period, nine sessions of the Parliament were held in total duration of 75 hours or about 10 working days, thus, the MPs worked ten times less than an average citizen.
The MPs’ activity index includes all types of discussions at the plenary sessions and shows for each deputy individually whether, from the point of view of activities at the plenum, they justified the income received from the taxpayers.
Out of 81 MPs, 63 participate in the work of the Parliament sessions, the most active being:
| Rank | MP | Index |
| 1 | Branko Radulovic (PZP) |
3.65 |
| 2 | Branka Bosnjak (PZP) |
3.48 |
| 3 | Aleksandar Damjanovic (independent MP) |
2.95 |
| 4 | Andrija Popovic (LPCG) |
2.60 |
| 5 | Predrag Bulatovic (DNP) |
2.34 |
| 6 | Milan Knezevic (DNP) |
2.21 |
| 7 | Milutin Djukanovic (NSD) |
1.89 |
| 8 | Goran Danilovic (UCG) |
1.63 |
| 9 | Predrag Sekulovic (DPS) |
1.59 |
| 10 | Budimir Aleksic (NSD) |
1.55 |
However, there are also MPs who did not sign up for discussion in any of the nine sessions: Andrija Nikolić (DPS), Miodrag Vuković (DPS) and Radule Novović (DPS).
MPs’ activity information is available at MANS website (http://www.mans.co.me/parlamentarni-monitoring/), while new information will be published monthly so that the citizens would have a better insight into the work of their representatives.
We believe that the platform we represent will be an incentive for MPs to make additional efforts in performing their parliamentary tasks, and offer citizens the objective parameters for evaluating their work. All this results in improving the quality of work of the largest legislative house, which is the goal MANS remains committed to.
Monitoring and development of the base is being implemented within the project “Improvement of parliamentary oversight and accountability in Montenegro” supported by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF).
