The workers of the former Košuta have announced that they will also block the Cetinje-Podgorica road from 11 a.m. to 15 p.m. on Thursday at the Kruševo gorge.

Today, in the same period, they blocked that road.

Workers' representative Dijana Vujović, reports RTV Cetinje, expects Prime Minister Milojko Spajić to think about their, as she said, sad story ahead of the prime minister's hour.

"Mr. Spajić is the prime minister and I believe that he cares about all citizens, so I hope that he will not leave us behind either. He comes from a working and honest family and should understand our suffering and our injustice that has been going on for 28 years. We expect him to finally accept us , let's sit down and talk. We know that he is the least guilty of all this, and that the DPS government has brought us to this situation. However, after three decades, I expect the problem to be finally resolved," Vujović said.

The legal representative of the workers, Petar Martinović, says that a few days ago, a worker who protested with them at Kruševo džrijelo died. He believes that precisely because of this, the Prime Minister and representatives of the Government will show empathy.

"Since the beginning of the protest at Kruševo džrijelo, three people have died, and the woman who suffered a stroke here at the barricade is recovering. I would also like to emphasize that these days a wave of protests has been launched throughout Montenegro. I have not heard that any of the government representatives said that "These protests are politically motivated, as was said about our protest. The workers of Košuta were the most harmed of all, and they never got anything," said Martinović in a statement to RTV Cetinje.

The mayor of Cetinje, Nikola Đurašković, recently asked the workers to postpone the protests until May 21, but they did not agree, stating that there was no progress in solving their situation.

The workers were recently supported by members of the local parliament who came to their protest. The Vice-President of the Assembly of the Capital of Cetinje, Mirko Stanić, said on April 26 at the Kruševo Gorge that he would send an initiative to the Ministry of Finance to solve the problem of the workers in Košuta, just as the problem of other employees in Montenegro was solved.
