Interim chairpersons


Since 2002, in case of need the eldest deputy opens and leads the first session when a new Montenegrin parliament is formed, until a speaker is elected (E.g. 2020). The same procedure is in the case of the sudden cessation of the term of the previously elected president, the oldest MP chair parliamentary sessions, until the election of a new speaker. (E.g. in 2003 and 2016)
