Representatives of the parliamentary majority of 30 August 2020 are supposed to meet today and try to agree on the formation of a new government. One of the DF leaders, Andrija Mandic, said on Saturday, after the third meeting of the “old parliamentary majority”, that he believed they would reach an agreement. Democrats MP Dragan Krapovic announced that that party proposed that women be at the head of the government and Parliament. The head of the Black on White caucus, URA’s Milos Konatar, accused the Democrats of preparing the ground for an agreement not to be reached.
DF would like Andrija Mandic to be the head of the new government, URA believes that that position belongs to the outgoing Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic, and the Democrats are of the opinion that this responsible position should belong to a woman, but they believe that neither URA nor SNP have the right to propose candidates for the holder of executive power because, they claim, they once overthrew the majority.
According to the Constitution of Montenegro, the President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, must nominate a prime minister designate by 19 September, or he will call for snap elections.
The European Union has repeatedly said that the new government should stay on the pro-European path.
