Koprivica to Gvozdenović: You can talk about that when you go to Aco Đukanović

The session of the Committee for Comprehensive Reform of Electoral and Other Legislation was postponed after the members from Democratic Montenegro, Momo Koprivica and Danilo Šaranović, refused to support the agenda.

The Democrats conditioned their support for the agenda by scheduling a special session where the opposition's request to form a new working committee and determine the deadline for the codification of the electoral legislation into the Electoral Code would be discussed.

Momo Koprivica from the Democrats accused the President of the Committee, Branimir Gvozdenović, of avoiding scheduling a session where the opposition's request would be discussed.

"This is obstruction and the introduction of the board into an illegal zone. If you do not schedule a special session, we will not vote for the agenda of today's session," said Koprivica.

Gvozdenović said that it is about manipulations and that it is being obstructed by the opposition's demands for the adoption of the Decision on the establishment of a new working committee and the determination of the deadline for the codification of the electoral legislation into the Election Code.

Gvozdenović said that the proposal was made by three members instead of four as stipulated in the decision.

"It is difficult to listen to so many untruths, and that seems to be my duty. I am forced to read to you, as small children, the decision on the establishment of the Board", said Gvozdenović, to which Koprivica said that "he can talk about that when he goes to Aco Đukanović".

Gvozdenović said that the working subcommittees should have submitted agreed solutions to the Board by December 7.

"I have been in politics for a long time, but I have not seen such obstructions. The agreements we had with the representatives of the OSCE were not respected. This is obstruction," he said.

Koprivica told Gvozdenović that he was a political criminal, to which the President of the Committee issued a warning.

"Your warnings mean nothing to me. The opposition has finished its work," said Koprivica, to which Gvozdenović again issued a warning.

"I have never been so calm in my career when I listened to such insults," said Gvozdenović, to which Koprovica told him "that he only heard the truth."

On Gvozdenović's remark that the board session was canceled last Sunday, Raško Konjević from the Social Democratic Party (SDP) repeated that he did not come to the last session because the agenda of the assembly was changed.

Member of the Liberal Party (LP) Andrija Popović said that he would leave the session if the insults continued.

"You should have interrupted the session so that we will never go to the elections," said Popović, while Đorđije Blažić said that the participation of representatives of the academic community in the Board ends on December 18.

"We will work until then, and December 28 is one year since the academic community started working. Obviously, we do not all have the same intentions. Be careful what you do because the public is watching you," said Blažić.

Koprivica and Šaranović voted against the agenda, Konjević abstained, while independent MP Neđeljko Rudović did not vote.
