Democratic People’s Party’s (DNP) leader Milan Knezevic said yesterday that he was in favour of a civic model of constitutional order in Montenegro, Pobjeda learns.
Several sources from Democratic Front (DF) confirmed Knezevic said this during a DNP presidency’s sitting, when there was discussion on the contents of the declaration for the preservation of Serbian nation, a document the drafting of which has been initiated by Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic.
Knezevic’s resolute position, supported by all DNP presidency members, opposes the idea of Serbian people receiving constitutional status in Montenegro, Pobjeda’s source says.
Knezevic’s position contradicts that of one of DF leaders Andrija Mandic. Mandic advocates granting Serbs constitutional status through Constitution amendments.
DNP believes that artificially created divisions to Montenegrins and Serbs could lead to an even deeper political and institutional crisis in Montenegro.
