Summary/Abstract: Consensual type of democracy is adequate to the democratic organization of the modern society. Consensual democracy implies an adequate representation of all ethno-cultural structures at all levels of decision-making in a society. However, when it comes to Montenegrin society, and in view of consensual democracy, the current participation of the Roma and Egyptian (RE) population in the political life is low. The RE population is essentially out of the processes. This means that a very important element of consensual democracy has been omitted and without it one cannot talk about the democratic process entirety in Montenegrin society, completed democratic transition nor about „ontological security“ of all ethno-cultural and national structures
