In practice, the OSCE/ODIHR final report following the early parliamentary elections of 14 October 2012 underlines that “[a]llegations of abuse of state resources and reported violations of the public sector recruitment ban during the electoral campaign blurred the line between state activities and the campaign of the ruling coalition.” The Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly report following the early parliamentary elections of 14 October 2012 reports misuse of administrative resources and in particular pressure and intimidations on civil servants to vote in favour of ruling political forces. Following the 7 April 2013 presidential election, the OSCE/ODIHR final report indicates that “[a]llegations of the misuse of state resources and mistrust in public institutions and the judiciary diminished public confidence in the electoral process and should be addressed.” The Parliamentary Assembly report underlines that “[t]he ad hoc committee was informed by the ODIHR limited election observation mission and by the NGO and media representatives of cases of alleged vote-buying and of misuse of administrative resources by the ruling coalition inasmuch as the dividing line between the activities of the State and the election campaign was blurred. Some 40% of jobs in Montenegro are directly or indirectly tied to the various public administrations.” The report recommends that misuse of administrative resources “should be tackled at the earliest opportunity by the Montenegrin authorities.”
