There won’t be technical government

Montenegrin MPs adopted last night Proposal of the Decision on the amendments to the Decision on the Establishment of the Committee on the Reform of Electoral and Other Legislation. Meanwhile, Legislative Committee rejected the amendment proposed by Democratic Front (DF) concerning technical government and its competences in the implementation of laws. The Committee didn’t discuss on the amendments of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).

Members of DPS  find the requests of Democratic Montenegro acceptable.

Representatives of DPS asked to propose amendments by means of which the deadline for the reform of electoral legislation is extended to 15 November.

Democrats endorsed the amendment proposed by DF, which stipulates that electoral process should be supervised by technical government.

Technical government – impossible

Member of DPS, Mr Andrija Nikolić, said loud and clear that technical government was constitutionally unfounded and politically illegitimate request.

He said that they wanted establishment of technical government composed of three groups.

“The first group is opposition, the second group is composed of some out-of-party persons who never took part in the elections and the third group are representatives of the governing coalition which won the elections and is now supposed to become minority. Should I remind you? No authority shall be either established or recognized if it does not result from the freely expressed will of the citizens. As you know, the elections were recognized by all the relevant international organizations and they were never disputed”, said Mr Nikolić.

Mr Nikola Rakočević says the electoral environment has to be better and that they are ready to improve electoral laws.

“We aren’t going to change our coalition partners. We need dialogue between the opposition and the government. We want everybody to work with us”, said Mr Rakočević.

Mr Milutin Đukanović (DF) said that the spirit of Mr Darko Pajović was felt in the Parliament and was manifested through Mr Aleksa Bečić. He maintains all this is a scam of DPS .

He said that Democrats had breached the agreement with the opposition.

LP won’t support the amendments

President of the Liberal party, Mr Andrija Popović thinks that dialogue has no alternative.

“I just had a glimpse of the amendments proposed by Democrats and I saw that three of them were in contravention to the Constitution. I think It’s not right that we allow people who boycott the Parliament to make requests”, said Mr Popović.

DF: More voters than residents

Tense discussion was further fueled by Mr Goran Danilović who said that “all this is too frivolous”.

“A man who used to rob premises in Kotor is proposing amendments. Unbelievable. We request technical government”, said Mr Danilović.

Representative of DF explained why they thought it was important that elections be supervised by technical government.

“DPS wins elections because electoral roll has more voters than the residents in Montenegro”, said Mr Veljko Vasiljević.

Mr Danijel Živković (DPS) addressed the opposition:

“There’s no such political experiment of laboratory that will enable you to win”, said Mr Živković.

And then he added:

“We’ll defeat you in the next elections”, said Mr Živković.

Ms Marina Jočić (DF) reacted sharply and accused Democrats and DPS of having a deal. She congratulated DPS on being able to always find “some Darko Pajović”.

She said that Head of the EU Delegation, Mr Aivo Orav, told her that there were “some bad guys in Democrats”, “some bad guys who had deceived me”.

Mr Neđeljko Rudović says that everybody with least conscience would be ashamed of this government.

SDP won’t take part in the Committee

Mr Aleksandar Damjanović said that amendments proposed by Democrats were a step back and pointed out that “bad agreements” were being discussed in the Parliament.

He added that his counterparts had told him that they wouldn’t take part in the Committee.

Mr Branko Radulović (DF) said that Democrats were cowards who “are afraid to express their views”.

“They are traitors, and that Mr Abazović is too. Without transitional government there can’t be free Montenegro. You can only have a cursed Montenegro”, said Mr Radulović.

Mr Milan Knežević (DF) said that we were witnessing a marriage ceremony between Milo Đukanović and Aleksa Bečić. Mr Ivan Brajović is the registrar and Mr Aivo Orav is the best man. He said this was a shameful treason.

Aprcović resigned

After the voting process, Mr Brajović said that Mr Željk Aprcović submitted resignation as from his MP function.

President of the Democrats caucus, Mr Boris Bogdanović, submitted this morning seven amendments to the Proposal for Decision on the Amendments to the Decision on the Establishment of the Committee on the Reform of Electoral and Other Legislation.

Adoption of these amendments would finally mean the adoption of the “Brussels plan” .
