The minorities will decide together who they will support in the upcoming presidential elections, said Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Bosniak Party Rafet Husović.

"I think it would be healing if we had a non-party person as the candidate who will win. If it is estimated that there is no such person, then Djukanović's candidacy is possible," said Husović in an interview with the Bosnian "Avaz".

He claims that they have not considered whether they will support the leader of the Democratic Party of Socialists if he runs, and he will make a decision on this after the local elections held on November 26.

Husović believes that it is unrealistic that his party has a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections who could win.

"We will support the candidate who follows our principles, about an independent, civil, multi-ethnic and multi-religious state of Montenegro, on the way to Western integration," he said.

He explained to the Bosnian media why he rejected the offer of the opposition, which after the parliamentary elections offered him to form a government with their support.

"There were those stories, after the last parliamentary elections, that BS was offered more ministries and even the post of prime minister. For us, that was not acceptable because it was at the expense of the principles on which we rest, especially NATO integration. It would not even be natural for someone whoever gets three percent of the votes leads the country. We flatly rejected those 'prime ministerial' offers," he said.
