The session, which was scheduled to take place on Thursday, was postponed due to family reasons for one of the judges.
The court also said that the judge rapporteur's proposal to hold the session in public did not receive the required majority of four votes.
The law confirming the Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Tourism and Real Estate Development between the Governments of Montenegro and the United Arab Emirates was adopted in the Parliament on June 3rd last year in a re-vote, while initiatives for the assessment of constitutionality were submitted to the Constitutional Court on June 23rd and July 30th last year.
"This is an international agreement for which the initiators, a councilor in the Budva Municipal Assembly, Djordje Zenovic and the non-governmental organization (NGO) Center for the Protection and Study of Birds, claim that it was adopted contrary to the Constitution and that it could have serious consequences for the interests of the state, which the Government of Montenegro, as a signatory to the Agreement, denies," the statement said.
The Constitutional Court held a public hearing on the case in mid-December, at which opinions were expressed by a professor of constitutional law and former president of the Constitutional Court, Mladen Vukcevic, professors of constitutional law Djordje Gardasevic from Zagreb and Vladimir Djuric from Belgrade, professor of public international law and former judge of the European Court of Human Rights, Nebojsa Vucinic, professor of private international law, Vladimir Colovic from Belgrade and professor of international private and environmental law, Maja Kostic Mandic from Podgorica.
