Montenegrointroducedmandatory possession of a COVID certificate for visiting children’s playrooms, religious sites, sports halls, cinemas, theaters, and concert halls.
These same restrictions continue to apply to visits to indoor restaurant areas, concerts, and sporting events, both outdoors and indoors.
However, the introduction of a national digital COVID certificate in public administration is postponed until the Ministry of Justice makes a clear statement on the legal basis for such a possible decision, Health Minister Jelena Borovinić Bojović said at today’s press conference.
“On this matter, a meeting will be organized next week at the Ministry of Justice, to which Ombudsman Siniša Bjeković and Montenegro’s representative at the European Court of Human Rights, Valentina Pavličić, will be invited,” the minister said.
She notes that, at the initiative of the Ministry of Health, weekly meetings are being held with representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Defense, the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, and the Police Directorate.
“We asked the Ministry of Public Administration to conduct an anonymous survey in order to determine the exact coverage of immunized employees in public administration, so that we can reach those who are still thinking about vaccination, because the plan is to organize targeted immunization for those who are interested. Public administration should set an example,” Borovinić Bojović said.
At present, about 85% of the total number of employees at the Ministry of Health have been fullyvaccinated.
