On 26 April 2021, following a request from Aleksa Bečić, Speaker of Parliament, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro provided video equipment for livestreaming and broadcasting parliamentary committees.

The Mission procured robotic cameras and additional production equipment for the two conference rooms to enhance Parliament’s existing information technology system. This enabled openness and transparency of the workings of the Parliament, which is part of a public outreach plan.

After signing a donation agreement in March, acting Head of the Mission, Siv-Katrine Leirtroe and the Speaker of Parliament Aleksa Bečić unveiled today plaques at the entrance to the committee room as an expression of gratitude to the Mission for the donation of the equipment valued at €81,485.

This equipment will also provide for broadcasting live on the new Parliamentary Channel, a specialized informative television programme established within the National Public Broadcaster RTCG.

“We are proud to support Parliament’s public outreach initiatives which will enable citizens to follow the work of their members of parliament. This equipment represents a long lasting asset that will ensure enhanced openness of the parliamentary work in the future,” said Leirtroe.

Speaker Bečić said that one of the key goals of this convocation of the Parliament was to raise openness and transparency, because that in itself strengthens the control and supervisory role of the Parliament.

“From my first day as Speaker, I came across good, open and friendly co-operation by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, which in recent months has helped us implement numerous projects to raise transparency and publicity of the Parliament,” said Bečić.

In partnership with the Parliament, the Mission will continue to implement projects focused on strengthening the capacity of the committees, building the capacity of the parliamentary staff, supporting co-operation amongst parliaments and promoting a more gender sensitive parliament.
