Democratic Montenegro congratulated the citizens of Montenegro on their Statehood Day.
"To all the citizens of Montenegro, the Democrats congratulate the National Day, with the wish that this July 13 reminds us that freedom in this area was once an ideal and the greatest value, for which the daughters and sons of these hills paid such a high price that it is unacceptable that Today's generations agree to live in unfreedom, fear and injustice without raising their voices," the Democrats' statement reads.
From that party, they said that July 13 is a special date for Montenegro and all its citizens because it is a symbol of anti-fascism, which, apart from being deeply rooted in the national memory, obliges us all not to bow down to today's trials.
"Into which representatives of the authorities often fall in, to expose entire groups of people to discrimination because of their different opinions, views of the world or the direction in which our country and society should move, more often covertly, and sometimes very obviously," it is stated in correspondence.
The Democrats said that the party is undoubtedly determined to demonstrate its commitment to the values of July 13, stating that, in order to become a state of happy citizens, statehood in itself is not enough.
"It is necessary, almost like after the war, to raise the state from the ruins in which it is left by those who will soon, finally, leave power after a quarter of a century, by strengthening itself economically, by providing an equal chance to everyone to get a job, regardless of their political , national, religious or any other affiliation, to strengthen its institutions, which, among other things, would lead the final fight against organized crime and corruption, in short - to democratize it and make it a state of the rule of law", the announcement states.
From that party, they said that, in order for this to happen, it is necessary that instead of "those who sold off state resources in order to fill their pockets and the pockets of a narrow circle of people around them", capable and professional people with unblemished biographies should come.
"Therefore, Montenegro, the Democrats want you to welcome the next Statehood Day with better and more responsible people at your head, because the change of the party that has been leading you for two and a half decades will only strengthen your statehood," the statement said.
The delegation of Democratic Montenegro headed by Mr. Aleks Bečić today laid a wreath at the Partizan Fighter Monument in Gorica.
