At the meeting of Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić with the European Union's special representative for dialogue Belgrade - Pristina and other regional issues of the Western Balkans, Miroslav Lajčak, it was assessed that in the context of the new geopolitical circumstances, there is a tendency to accelerate the integration of the region into the EU, and that Montenegro is an ideal candidate to show that integrations can be accelerated, announced the Public Relations Service of the Government of Montenegro.
Accordingly, as stated in the announcement, satisfaction was expressed with the fact that the Western Balkans will continue to be highly positioned on the EU agenda.
They add that joining the European Union "is the main goal of Montenegro", but in order to progress in that process, it is necessary "for the country to be stable".
"The political situation, the blockade of institutions and the gambling minority government, a conglomerate that cannot be united, because it has no cohesive connection, only support the urgent calling of elections as the only democratic way out of this situation," said Krivokapić, adding that this government has the capacity for the preparation of those elections.
The story of the minority government, as he claims, only further destabilized the country, even intensified the crisis, because in the context of the war events in Ukraine, there was a strengthening of nationalism, embodied in DPS and DF.
Any polarization in society is bad and can lead to an escalation of conflict, the statement added.
"There are currently four crises intertwining in Montenegro: political, economic, energy and food crisis. In order to move in the direction of resolving the complicated situation, and towards accelerated integration towards the EU, even a technical government could not be a way out of the situation, given that Lex Specialis was necessary for its formation," explained Krivokapić, adding that the best and fairest solution would be to call elections.
He added that "Montenegro has no time for political games and the best moment is for the extraordinary parliamentary elections to be held at the same time as the local ones".
Lajčak, they add, expressed his full support for Montenegro, saying that he wants a pro-European Montenegro and that it is solely up to it to solve its crisis, stressing that elections are the most democratic way.
The Montenegrin Prime Minister and a senior European diplomat spoke on the sidelines of the Delphi Economic Forum, which is being held in Greece.
