The Formation of the Coordinating Council
On May 5th, 2009 in Podgorica, Montenegro, the initiative sponsors (the HLC, Documenta and the RDC) formed the Coordinating Council (composed of members by invitation). Its first task was to create the Coalition for the establishment of RECOM, and delegate it the authority to administer the consultation process. Following that, the Council’s task was to supervise the implementation of the decisions adopted by the Assembly of the RECOM Coalition.
The Coordinating Council ceased to exist with the creation of the Regional Team of Public Advocates in October of 2011, which marked the start of the preparations for a news stage in the RECOM Process – the institutionalization.
