"In the context of the exponential growth of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the President of the European Parliament has announced a number of measures to contain the spread of epidemic and to safeguard Parliament's core activities.

The current precautionary measures adopted by the European Parliament to contain the spread of COVID-19 do not affect work on legislative priorities. Core activities are reduced, but maintained to ensure that the institution's legislative, budgetary, scrutiny functions are maintained.

The meetings will be with remote participation for Members (being able to view and listen to proceedings, ask for the floor and intervene in the meeting). Other participants are invited to follow the meeting through webstreaming.

Following these decisions, the next ordinary AFET Committee meetings will take place in October (via videoconference).

"We have followed the weekend events in Montenegro with great concern and we categorically condemn all violent acts that occurred both on Saturday and Sunday in connection to the inauguration of Joanikije II. Montenegro should uphold fully its obligations to defend the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of speech, while also respecting a variety of religious rights of its citizens.

Montenegro is an EU candidate country where political and religious leaders have a particular responsibility to reflect in their decisions on overwhelming support that Montenegro's citizens give to EU accession. We urge all stakeholders to contribute actively to lowering of tensions in the society and to upholding Montenegro's commitment to a modern, democratic, multi-confessional and multi-ethnic society. Political instrumentalisation of one's religious beliefs is not compatible with Montenegro's ongoing reform process and successful EU accession. It reflects poorly on Montenegro's international standing and long history of peaceful co-existence among people of many faiths and ethnic backgrounds."
