If one takes a closer look at the requests of protesters referring to deconstruction of the Montenegrin institutions, it becomes obvious that the protests are political, anti-Semitic and anti-government, said Mayor of Podgorica, Ivan Vuković.
In the series of anti-government protests in the capital, he added, people forget about some basic facts – that the Government led by PM Duško Marković, was elected in October 2016 and is legitimate, and that the President of Montenegro, Mr. Milo Đukanović, scored a landslide victory in the first round of the presidential election held last year.
“This all indicates that there’s no basis for demanding shorter mandate of this Government or its reconstruction; especially not for suggesting that President Đukanović’s political engagement has ended.”
Vuković continued: “Let’s recall the reasons for protests across Podgorica – it was noted that the ruling party had used some unreported funds for financing the political campaigns ahead of the 2016 elections; people responsible for these irregularities will bear the consequences in accordance with the law, which, of course, does not justify the requests of protesters.”
