“The fall of the current Government could slow down Montenegro’s path to the European Union, but we cannot tolerate its work that ignores the national interests of Montenegro. We will talk to other parliamentary entities and come to a possible solution”, says the president of the country, Milo Djukanovic.
“When the previous government lost confidence in Parliament as the President of the state, I presented the idea that we should hold early parliamentary elections. The majority of the parliamentary parties were skeptical of that idea and started looking for other solutions, first of all arranging a new government. I said that this idea seemed acceptable to me on the condition that we could agree that the government should commit to unblocking the negotiation process with the EU as an absolute priority”, President Djukanovic has told reporters in Cetinje after a meeting with Bulgarian President Rumen Radev.
When discussing the recently signed Fundamental Agreement with the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), President Djukanovic has said that “the Government decided to sign that arrangement. In addition, our assessment is that certain solutions in that Agreement are in contradiction with historical facts, the constitutional legal system of Montenegro, in contradiction with the vital state interests of Montenegro. These are the reasons that made us decide to deny support to such a Government”, President Djukanovic has pointed out.
“We greatly appreciate Bulgaria’s support in carrying out our European aspirations. Bulgaria has shared with us the problems faced in recent years in the conditions of various crises”, says the President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, after talking to his Bulgarian colleague Rumen Radev, who is visiting Montenegro.
