The Parliament boycott was necessary, but not a sufficient model of cooperation among the opposition parties as it is slowly becoming pointless, the vice president of the Movement for Changes (PzP) and a member of DF’s Presidency, Branko Radulovic, in his interview with Dan newspaper.
Radulovic explained that the first democratic elections in Montenegro, in 2018, would be made possible only through continued, non-violent popular protests.
“If we want an effective epilogue of this crisis which would be acceptable for the opposition, the democratic pressure coming from the united opposition must be more meaningful, dynamic and principled. This stand-by position does not lead to fair and free elections. Social and economic collapse continues, the resources are being devastated and sold, brutal dictatorship is being introduced, the number of political prisoners is increasing and criminal gangs are imposing their justice. The first democratic elections in Montenegro, in 2018, will be made possible only through continued, non-violent popular protests,” Radulovic told Dan.
He pointed out that nation waited this.
“Everywhere it turned out to be the most effective method. The recent developments in Romania confirm that. DF’s mission, as well as agenda and activities we offer only prove the historical significance of this most important political entity. We have produced so many developments – there are enough of them for a lifetime. We sacrificed ourselves, we have passed an ordeal and we are still passing it. Therefore, we are continuously under regime’s attacks. Had the rest of the opposition had more understanding, not to mention solidarity and had they chosen cooperation with DF, instead of negotiating with Djukanovic, the regime would have already been toppled and Montenegro would have been on a democratic way,” said Radulovic.
