A statement from President Filip Vujanovic's office said he had decided to reschedule the parliamentary session to allow more time for debate.
The statement did not specify a new date for the session.
The pro-independence Vujanovic had previously scheduled the parliament meeting for 7 February. His ruling majority was expected to set the independence plebiscite for mid-April.
But as the debate continues in Montenegro on the terms of the referendum, European Union envoy Miroslav Lajcak urged Vujanovic to postpone the assembly session.
