The meeting between the US Vice President Mike Pence and leaders of five Montenegrin opposition parties lasted for 15 minutes, Dnevne Novine daily learns.
Leaders of SDP, URA, Democrats, SNP and Demos had very short time to voice their opinions on the situation in Montenegro. However, their press releases suggested otherwise, citing separate meetings with Pence, which DN learns to be a false information.
Instead of releasing a joint statement, the parties had separate press releases, based mostly on their imagination.
Clearly, they did not expect that the White House would air its own statement on the meeting, leaving no doubt on the contents of the talks and the message to the opposition – stop the boycott and return to the Parliament to carry out their responsibilities as legislators and represent the voters who elected them.
The meeting was held in the US Embassy in Podgorica.
