“Although the opposition is boycotting the Parliament of Montenegro, we cannot close our eyes to the problems our country is facing. The situation in public finances is very bad, as is in health and education. We will look for new solutions”, Konatar explained.
He said that current Parliament is a product of corrupt elections and election rigging, which makes it illegal.
“Based on that, the Government chosen in that Parliament has no legitimacy. Opposition won 39 mandates under pressure during elections. We must find a way to work for our citizens who trusted us. One of the ways to succeed is shadow parliament”, Konatar said.
Shadow parliament could serve as a platform for opposition voicing its opinions on current affairs. Shadow parliament would mirrror the daily schedule of Parliamen of Montenegro. They would also consider the upcoming Budget Law.
“We are aware of all the problems and issues Montenegro is currently facing. During December, there will be a discussing on Budget Law. Opposition will have an attitude and we will discuss it with citizens. We will not do it in an illegal Parliament of course”, Konatar said.
He concluded saying that this was one of the ideas they are currently considering and that all options are still open.
