Krivokapić: If the conditions are not created, there may be a boycott of the presidential elections

The president of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Ranko Krivokapić, announced that the civil opposition could boycott the presidential elections, if, as he said, normal conditions are not created for them.

"There will be a meeting of the civil opposition this week, to prepare an action, to see if it is possible to go to the elections in these conditions. As you know, we go to the local elections in unequal conditions in order to preserve political stability at some level. However, the presidential elections without normal conditions, they are an opportunity to think about a boycott, to radicalize the situation, to move towards the Macedonian scenario," Krivokapić told reporters after the conference of the Center for Civic Education (CGO) entitled Stabilocracy or Democracy."

"I prefer what we have achieved through the parliamentary dialogue, that is the Montenegrin scenario, that with the parliamentary dialogue we reach a transitional government of any type, it is open to modeling, along with the civil sector and everything else, in order to prepare those elections. DPS- this Government cannot prepare any elections, but we are investing in the future of Montenegro by suffering in local elections, certainly not ready to participate in state elections again in conditions in which you cannot win," Krivokapić said.

He said that the coup d'état, whether it happened as the indictment says or that someone staged it, stopped the democratization of Montenegro, but that this situation cannot last long.
