Coordinator of the Montenegro’s Igman Initiative, Mr Branislav Radulović, says that the proposed composition of the future cabinet of PM-designate, Mr Zdravko Krivokapić, cannot be regarded as an expert one despite earlier announcements. To describe it as such would be pretentious and would represent glorification of professional achievements of the majority of proposed candidates for the government departments.
In an interview for the Focus portal from New York, Mr Radulović says that the Prime Minister-designate, in line with his own vision of future administration, publicly presented the candidates about whom Montenegro experts and public know very little.
“Everyone who gets to analyze the proposed government composition, regardless of their political or public affiliation, agrees that this is a kind of an experiment,” says Mr Radulović.
According to him, Mr Krivokapić’s approach is atypical and so far unregistered, at least in Europe, and what’s especially strange is that it comes from a member of the academic community.
He considers that the new government must not be based on the negation of an authentic, original Montenegrin national and civic character.
“The fact that the new government comprises no members of minority nations or members of the majority Montenegrin people imposes a high risk that Montenegro will “slip” from the constitutional concept of civil society into a narrow (clerical) national one. This decision-making process was not typical even for Mr Milošević, who at least tried to pretend to have a “multinational” government by promoting Mr Sejd Bajramović and some other obscure political figures.”
