The first module of the 22nd generation of the School of Political Studies (SPS), entitled “Political Life in Montenegro: Genuine or Simulated Democracy?”, was held last weekend in Ulcinj.

Through a series of discussions over the course of three days, participants engaged in in-depth conversations on Montenegro’s current stage in the European integration process, the political potential of women and minority communities, and the ways in which political elites have exploited these issues in the public sphere over the years.

The participants of the School of Political Studies represent political parties, state institutions, international organizations, civil society organizations, and the media.

Lecturers at the first module of the 22nd generation included:

• Predrag Zenović – Chief Negotiator of Montenegro with the European Union
• Gordana Đurović – Professor at the Faculty of Economics
• Genci Nimanbegu – Mayor of the Municipality of Ulcinj
• Goran Delić – Communications Expert
• Senad Gilaj – Editor of the Minority Affairs Editorial Desk at RTCG

This SPS module was financially supported by the Ministry of European Affairs, the Fund for the Protection and Exercise of Minority Rights, and the Council of Europe.
