The Bosniak Party has decided to run in the 11 June elections independently, thereby letting part of the parliamentary majority know that as far as they are concerned, there is no postponing the elections. This is how all parties announce that they will submit their lists by 16 May, and for now it is known that URA and Democrats, who do not want cooperation with SNP, will participate in the elections together. The independent Movement Europe Now will participate in the elections. The public will learn about the details of the other parties in the following days.
“We are working on the formation of a civil bloc, the backbone will be URA and Democrats, that bloc will be open to all civil forces that want to contribute to further democratization and reforms that are necessary for Montenegro,” says Mileta Radovanic from the URA General Assembly.
Momcilo Lekovic of Demokrats says that they have collected signatures of support, and that the electoral list will be submitted in accordance with the deadlines set by the State Audit Institution.
SNP leader Vladimir Jokovic would prefer to see that party on the list alone in the elections, but it is not yet known whether that will be the case.
Europe Now says that they are working on the preparation of the list.
“We are working on the preparation of the list, the leader Milojko Spajic will definitely be the list holder, we will definitely submit the list within the legal deadline, maybe on 15 or 16 May, and I believe that it will be the best list that has ever appeared in some elections”, Vasilije Carapic points out.
It is not yet known how the opposition will perform in the elections, and the public is speculating that DPS, SDP, SD and the Liberal Party could be on the same list.
DF has not made a statement about the way it will perform in the elections either.
Ahead of the June parliamentary elections, the only certain coalition was agreed upon between Democratic Montenegro and URA, the RTCG portal was told unofficially. It is not impossible for it to be a wider coalition, which would also include other political entities, which will be discussed in the following days.
The deadline for submission of electoral lists expires on 16 May at midnight.
