Sažetak
Intra-party democracy represents neglected area of research, especially in countries that are in process of democratic consolidation or on start of Europeanization process. Parties represent closed systems which are not allowing those outside to follow and analyses process within them. Thanks to the CCS research we can have insight analyzing experience and attitudes of candidates for MP positions in some countries including as well as Montenegro. In this article which represents part of wider research are analyzed statues of key political parties in Montenegro, following methodology used in analyzing same process in Croatia before. Comparison of key Montenegrin parties is showing that they represent organization with lack of internal democracy, or following classifcation they ft in low democracy type (3) and in individual elitist type (3). Neither one of analyzed parties gains score allowing it to be set in democratic centralism, or full democracy type. Further development of internal – party democracy is depending from institutional incentives (legal changes) as well as those coming from international associations to which Montenegrin parties belong.
