The leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Ranko Krivokapić, said that the opposition must not enter the presidential elections in such conditions and that the political crisis can be resolved by a transitional government.

At the conference of the Center for Civic Education (CGO) entitled Stabilocracy or Democracy, Krivokapić said that "stabilocracy" is a nice way to say "autocracy" in the Western Balkans and that the Balkans got its own model of autocracy, which, as he stated, , Montenegro exporter.

"If in Montenegro we are exporters of something, then we are in a model of autocracy that was also a model for Macedonia, I am speaking in the past tense," said the leader of the SDP and added that Tito's Montenegro lasted 35 years, while DPS's already 30 years.

"Tito's was creative, and this one was smuggling," he said.

Commenting on the changes to the electoral laws, Krivokapić said that Montenegro has one of the best legal regulations, but, as he added, also the most elaborate system of stealing elections.

"We have a government twisted to the point of depravity. We need wise behavior from the opposition. This can be solved by a transitional government - be it Macedonian, Montenegrin or some other type. The legal mechanism alone cannot solve this," he said.

The president of Demos, Miodrag Lekić, said that fascist regimes showed the greatest stability. Lekić said that the opposition offered a solution to the political crisis in the country.

"Publishing the full truth about the coup d'état, to re-run the elections within a reasonable time, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, next year is a reasonable deadline for us," specified Lekić. He added that in the Balkans, the so-called demotura has become a reality. "A little democracy, and more autocracy," said Lekić.

The president of the Socialist People's Party (SNP), Vladimir Joković, said that the government should schedule elections for next year, and that it can be done without specifying the date. He stated that the wishes of many citizens of Montenegro were not realized after the referendum.

"Apart from international relations where Montenegro has reached an enviable level, we are not satisfied with the speed of the process of accession to the European Union," he said.

Bosniak Party MP Ervin Ibrahimović said that the most important thing for Bosniaks is stability.

"Taught by the experience when we witnessed the suffering in the Balkans, I think that stability has no alternative," he said.

Democrat MP Momo Koprivica said that frequent peaceful changes of power in Montenegro would increase the probability that each subsequent change would be the same.

"For autocrats, the loss of power is a risky event. That's why they have an incentive to oppose the change of power. The Montenegrin opposition is strongly determined to bring about the change of power in a peaceful, institutional way," Koprivica said.

The Vice President of the URA Civic Movement, Miloš Kontara, assessed that EU integration has accelerated the democratization of Montenegrin society.

"Most reforms and improvements would not have happened without integration," Konatar said.

Liberal Party President Andrija Popović stated that stabilocracy is present in all countries of the Western Balkans and threatens to become a recipe for instability. Commenting on the attempts to exclude certain members from the RTCG Council, Popović said that the autonomy of the Public Service must be preserved and that his party will not support the dismissal of Council members for the time being.
