 "In this government, experts are at the head of the ministries, and in depth you are planning to politically divide functions outside the law... Except for Injac, all the others are close relatives or in some other way connected to the popes and bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church...".

18h AM

Branka Bošnjak (Movement for Change), addressing Krivokapić, expressed "indignation because your mouth is full of fairness and justice, and what you have done is a huge injustice".

"My first disappointment happened when you, as a university professor, said that it was an honor for you to be brought by Daka Davidović, a war profiteer and arms smuggler... who wants to wash away his sins through founding and donating to the church, and openly entered the political arena , privatizing the church and you and your government and over 150 university professors and Dritan Abazović..."

She also added that "what went under the radar" and that it does not surprise her, "he talked about smuggling and said that for God's sake all countries do..."

"I expected that neither you, nor the church, none of you distanced yourself from his scandalous statements, and he humiliated you. The University must have collapsed if Daka Davidović is someone who should be followed by a university professor".

She added that Krivokapić "easily turned his back on those to whom you owe success, your comrades".

"You pickpocketed us so badly. You came, took everything and kicked us... If you don't change and realize your mistakes, time will run over you. I expect you to change..."

She said that "this is not an expert government and these are not experts".

"You are not an expert on politics, nor is your vice president any expert, but just a likable, theatrical, philandering character who knows how to woo the people... What worries me about him is the obsession with the security services of someone who is young. Where did he get this infatuation from? into force...".

"But I will express great concern that all together do not have even 10 years of work in the state apparatus...", Bošnjak said.

If this government is not efficient or effective, then none of the deputies who will vote can escape from political responsibility and the state of the country.

"Besides the minority representatives, colleagues from DPS are worried, this bothers them a lot and offends them, which is normal, as far as I remember, we didn't go to Dubrovnik as tourists, and when I remember the deportation of Muslims to Republika Srpska, we didn't just provide them with free transportation, either it's also something else... well, when I think of the unearthing of the springs near Bijelo Polje," Pavićević said.

I didn't read that in your exposition, but I didn't read the opposite either."

He said that in the exposé he read "only nice sentences that unfortunately do not deal with minority issues".

"Minority issues are important. I want to send a message to former coalition parties as well - don't shed crocodile tears that minority parties are not in the government, because if we were, who knows what kind of labels they would get," said Nimanbegu.

He said that "I wish Krivopkapić and his government all the best".

"Those who will support you do not support you. Those who will support you criticize you the most. I want us to be responsible in political statements, especially political leaders...
