The coalition is cracking: pro-Western liberals opposed the proposal of the Serbs of Montenegro to re-elect the government
The leader of the political alliance “For the Future of Montenegro”, Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapic, the leader of “Democratic Montenegro”, Speaker of the Assembly Aleksa Becic and the leader of the URA party, Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic, opposed the proposal of the Serbian Democratic Front for re-election of the government.
Krivokapic, Becic and Abazovic said that they were leading the country to the EU, but were “against the interference of a foreign factor in the internal affairs of the country,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The leaders of the three political alliances that formed the current parliamentary majority and government of Montenegro opposed the initiative of the Serbian Democratic Front to change the government.
Local Serbs came to such an idea after the Montenegrin parliament accepted the the shameful “Resolution on Genocide in Srebrenica” and approved the resignation of Minister of Justice Vladimir Leposavic, who did not support the fake “genocide”.
In a joint statement, Krivokapić, Abazović and Bečić said that “the victory in the elections achieved on August 30, 2020 represents the greatest value of their political work and exceeds personal and party ambitions.”
“It is necessary to conduct an open and constructive dialogue between the government and the parliamentary majority about possible changes in its composition,” said the authors of the statement. – We are against the overthrow of this government and the holding of new parliamentary elections, because Montenegro needs stability with the immediate implementation of radical reforms.
Future government action should focus on four themes: economic development, the country's accession to the European Union, the fight against corruption and organized crime, and reform of electoral legislation."
Krivokapic, Becic and Abazovic also said that “the interference of a foreign factor in resolving internal issues of Montenegro is unacceptable,” clearly hinting at Serbia, whose support the Democratic Front enjoys.
At the same time, the authors of the appeal for some reason do not consider the pressure of the US and EU embassies to force Montenegro to officially recognize the fabricated “genocide” as interference in the internal affairs of the country. A meeting of government members with representatives of the parliamentary majority is scheduled for Thursday, where it is planned to discuss all acute contradictions.
Characteristically, only Aleksa Becic and Dritan Abazovic can fully speak out on behalf of their political forces, while the bloc “For the Future of Montenegro” was represented, among other things, by Serbian parties such as the Democratic Front and “Correct Montenegro”.
They initially expressed confidence in Zdravko Krivokapic as a leader, and recently refused in it, after he, heeding the pressure of Western ambassadors, sent the decision on the resignation of Justice Minister Vladimir Leposavic, who refused to recognize the “genocide in Srebernica”, to the Assembly for consideration, did not sign an agreement with the SOC, and had previously denied his Serbian colleagues ministerial portfolios in his office.
