The ratio of men to women in the national councils of Montenegro
As per Montenegro’s 2013 Law on Minority Rights and Freedoms, the equality of its national minorities (defined by their national, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and religious identity) is guaranteed. The National Councils are elected bodies which represent minority national groups in the country, and are chosen by members of their community. They work with the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, advise state and local organs, and generally play a large role in matters relating to minorities, aided by the newly established Fund for Protecting Minority Rights.
