OSCE Mission to Montenegro equips parliamentary staff with skills as trainers

With the support of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, from June to December 2020, six staff of Montenegro’s parliament acquired the knowledge and tools to organize and facilitate workshops on a range of skills for their colleagues within parliament.  

In co-operation with the parliament’s Human Resources Management Bureau, the Mission facilitated a mentoring programme for the parliamentary staff that spanned 13 days, conducted over six months. The staff developed a detailed training curriculum and practiced delivering courses on communication, presentations and stress management.

Dražen Malović, Head of the Service for Human Resources and Corporation Affairs said: “As in the previous period, all agreed activities with the OSCE Mission were successfully implemented, in spite of all the challenges caused by COVID-19 pandemic. Our joint achievements represent a fertile ground for building further successful co-operation.“

The experts who delivered the training, Jadranka Vojinović and Bego Begu, said that participants have gained skills that will increase the professionalism, efficiency and effectiveness of the parliamentary service.

This activity was part of the Mission’s efforts to strengthen the capacities of the parliamentary services to create an enabling working environment. The Mission plans to support the pool of trainers to conduct training workshops on the three topics for their colleagues in 2021 by providing mentoring throughout the process.
