Archive Government passes Draft law on life partnership of same-sex partners. She explained that this draft law is based on the most widespread model for the organisation of same-sex life partnerships.
Prior to the developing of the draft law, the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, as the proposer, made detailed analyses in order to determine the model of arranging the relations of two persons of the same sex in the way that best corresponds to the Montenegrin conditions. The current legal framework regulating those areas that are important for the adoption of this law, in particular the Constitution of Montenegro, the Family Law, the Law on Inheritance, the Law on Health Insurance, the Law on Pension and Disability Insurance, and others, have been thoroughly analysed.
The provisions of the draft law contain adequate and acceptable solutions that regulate the life partnership of two persons of the same sex. Enabling persons of the same sex to exercise these rights by no means endangers or diminishes the rights of others, nor will it in any way change or affect the exercise of the rights of other persons who are not members of the LGBTI population.
The principle that all people are equal without regard to any personal property race, skin colour, nationality, language, religion, political affiliation, disability, marital status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.
We still have a lot of work to do, because the protection of human rights, especially vulnerable groups, is a social process that requires time. The legal framework has been improved, policies for the protection of human rights of vulnerable groups have been created, and programmes of support for members of the community regarding their social inclusion have been developed.
