The President of the Committee of the Democrats of the Capital Cetinje, Danilo Mrvaljević, said that he will ask to provide funds for benefits for newborns and unemployed mothers in the amount of at least 500 euros.

"Already in the Budget for 2022, which will be passed in the Assembly of the Capital by the end of this month, the Democrats will ask to provide funds for benefits for newborns in the amount of at least 500 euros and benefits for unemployed mothers, also in the amount of at least 500 euros ", said Mrvaljević.

He said that the Democrats, even though they do not have representatives in the executive branch, as part of the parliamentary majority, i.e. as a political entity with the support of which the Old Guard LSCG and SDP exercise power, will initiate in a formal sense and work full steam to ensure that everything they promised to the citizens Cetinje in the campaign for local elections will be implemented.

"Of course, the results will mostly depend on the members of the executive power, the mayor and the elders of the new local administration, their work and competence, but it is our duty to give support and we are here to help and contribute in all ways that we agree together, without any blackmail or political calculation - only for Cetinje!", announced Mrvaljević.

He also points out that what is most important and what they will certainly not give up on is a serious agreement by all members of the ruling majority on a clear strategy for the economic recovery of the capital, a strategy for demographic development and a program for the management and depoliticization of local government, for the benefit of all the citizens of Cetinje.

"There is already money for this much increase - all that is needed is good will and the agreement of the majority: the funds of around 35.000-36.000 euros, which were previously earmarked for textbooks, should only be redirected and planned for this purpose, because now the state provides textbooks for all primary school students. And then, work together to gradually increase the amount of both fees every next year, as possible. I am sure that everyone from the parliamentary majority will accept this proposal of ours," he said in his statement.

"And already thinking about the Apartment Program for young married couples that we can start in 2023," he adds.

"All that DPS and SD did not want or were not able to do, all that we fought for for years and for which we criticized the former government, now we have the opportunity to correct, to establish, to improve. There are no excuses - to show in action and to fulfill promises", concludes Mrvaljević.
