Dan: Ministry of Interior goes to DF, justice to Democrats and URA gets defense

Prime minister-designate and holder of the list ‘For the future of Montenegro’, Mr Zdravko Krivokapić, has made a draft of the division of departments in the new government, Dan finds out.

According to that draft, his coalition would have eight departments and one vice-presidential position: Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Science, Ministry of Sport, Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Public Administration.

By the proposal of Mr Krivokapić, ‘Peace is our nation’ coalition would get Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism, Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Human and Minority Rights and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This coalition would also have position of the vice-president of the government.

‘Black and white’ coalition would have vice-president function in the government, for the coordination of security services and departments of defense, agriculture and rural development, culture and the media.

Mr Krivokapić kept the position of the minister of finance for an expert of his own choice, as well as the position of the Government’s secretary general.

The draft envisages that head positions in the Agency for National Security and Police department should be covered by professionals from URA.

The draft does not stipulate the function of the Minister without portfolio and it is not certain yet whether that function will exist in the new government at all.

As Dan finds out, amendments to this draft should be minimal.
