Pavlović: The EU is aware of the obstructions implemented by the ruling coalition

The President of the Inquiry Committee, Koča Pavlović, said that he informed the representatives of the Delegation of the European Union in Montenegro, Mitja Drobnič and Albert Kamarata, about the "strong and persistent obstructions" carried out by the representatives of the ruling coalition in this parliamentary body.

"All the efforts of the chairman of the board to improve the work of the board and make it efficient and effective encounter these obstructions. Observers from the EU Delegation had the opportunity to see it themselves," Pavlović added after the meeting with EU representatives.

"The DPS officials in front of the board avoid giving answers or defend themselves with untrue interpretations that are so grotesque that they represent an insult to common sense and the entire public"

He claims that he assessed at the meeting that "it is the obvious ambition and goal of the DPS that the Survey Committee completes its work without any tangible results".

"All this became clear to the entire Montenegrin public after six sessions. DPS officials avoid giving answers in front of the committee or defend themselves with false interpretations that are so grotesque that they represent an insult to common sense and the entire public," the DF official explained.

He also believes that that half of the Inquiry Committee is trying to prevent his effort to collect as much information and evidence as possible in accordance with the law so that this parliamentary investigation can get to the truth.

Pavlović did not want to answer in detail what the EU representatives told him or whether they gave him a recommendation to solve the "obstruction problem": "We had different opinions, but that is the job of us politicians for which we receive a salary. It fell to us to solve it ourselves and to deal with it".

He said and informed them of the well-founded suspicion that the deletion of 30 voters, the so-called of voters of the opposite party, as DPS official Daliborka Pejović said, was carried out in an illegal procedure, which additionally confirms the illegitimacy of the entire election process.

"I conveyed to them the determination of the DF, but I also believe that of the entire opposition, for this body to finish its work with a concrete result because that is what the EC expects from us and demands," said Pavlović, stating that the responsibility for the continuation of European integration rests with the SDP.

As he claims, the interlocutors agreed on the importance of the political and criminal investigation of the "Snimak" affair for the continuation of Montenegro's European accession.

"We noted that in the work done so far, the committee has made great efforts to shed light on the "Snimak" affair, which Drobnič praised," added Pavlović.
