Comments on the Draft "Referendum Law on the State Status of the Republic of Montenegro"
The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) has been requested by the Speaker of the Parliament to review and provide comments on the draft "Referendum Law on the State Status of the Republic of Montenegro" of 10 October 2001. The law is a lex specialis including 17 clauses, and is additional to the Referendum Law adopted on 19 February 2001, which was reviewed in detail by ODIHR in the Assessment published on 6 July 2001 (annexed herewith). Article 16 of the Draft Referendum Law on the State Status of the Republic of Montenegro specifically incorporates the provisions of the "Referendum Law (Official Gazette number 9/2001)" to apply "to the issues which are not regulated by this Law." This review should accordingly be read in conjunction with the Assessment of 6 July.
