The Main Board of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has adopted the conclusions today obliging the President of the party, Ranko Krivokapic, to require positions of the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Information Society and Minister of Transport and Maritime Affairs in the Cabinet of the Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic, all in accordance with the coalition agreement between the DPS and the SDP.
On this occasion, Mr Markovic said that his party would wait for the official request of the SDP and then would decide on it.
“First we must see the request and its contents, and then the bodies of our party will decide about it,” Mr Markovic said.
The positions of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Information Society, and the Minister of Transport and Maritime Affairs are currently occupied by former SDP members, Vujica Lazovic and Ivan Brajovic, who left the SDP after the Party Congress. Now they are working on establishing a new party. Mr Brajovic and Mr Lazovic left the SDP dissatisfied with the way in which the party was lead by its president Ranko Krivokapic.
The major argument for the Cabinet reshuffle would be the fact that the DPS and the SDP made the coalition agreement in 2012, according to which representatives of the SDP should be appointed to positions of the Speaker of the Parliament, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministers of Transport, Interior Affairs and Information Society.
