Leader of the New Serbian Democracy, Mr Andrija Mandić, told N1 TV that a new parliamentary majority in the Parliament of Montenegro will be formed on Wednesday, adding that the major task of the new government would be to focus on the justice system, fight against corruption and organized crime.
According to him, dynamics in negotiations of representatives of the coalition that won a majority in recent elections has been “just fine”.
“Having in mind that the new government will comprise many parties, dynamics in negotiations is good. On Wednesday, we’re supposed to secure a parliamentary majority that can form the new government. A majority of 41 MPs have an intention to set up the government, and we also sent an invitation to ethnic minority parties to join us,” Mr Mandić said.
He also added that they had sent an invitation even to those parties that had said to take a position after the parliamentary elections.
“Our intention to change Montenegro is serious, and we find it especially challenging to fight organized crime and corruption,” he underlined.
The cooperation with the Democratic Party of Socialists, DPS, shouldn’t be an option, as it’s an opposition party that has been ruling Montenegro for 30 years.
Speaking about his relations with Serbia’s president, Mr Mandić told he was a “Serbian politician from Montenegro” and added that “he has been acting as a representative of the Serbian people”.
“I’m telling the truth, as I had the opportunity to see what the previous presidents of Serbia had done. The fact is that no one has done more for the Serbs in Montenegro than Aleksandar Vučić, and that cannot be denied, because the concrete results are visible to everyone.” Mr Mandić underlined.
He continued: “We cannot expect congratulations until this matter (formation of the government) is brought to an end. I’m sure that congratulations will follow, which was announced by the President of Serbia and the region. My relations to Vučić are well known, as we’ve been trying to find common ground in favor of the Serbs.”
Serbs in Montenegro are not a minority nation, according to him, as Montenegro is their country.
