The President of Democratic Montenegro, Aleksa Bečić, called on the political actors in Berane to honestly solve the issue of the formation of the government in that city, if the interests of the citizens come first, but he also expressed doubts about the hidden intentions of certain political actors.
He said at the convention of the Democrats in Pljevlja tonight that the election of the authorities in Berane is stuck on who should have the post of the president of the municipality, because both the Democrats and the Democratic Front (DF) believe that they should get the position of the first man of the town.
The Democrats, said Becic, believe that the position of President of the Municipality should belong to them, because they won the same number of mandates as the Democratic Front, which was made up of four political parties.
He said that as a compromise solution, smaller political parties that together have seven mandates, Berane Sad, United Montenegro and Prava Montenegro, offered a compromise solution to divide the mandates into two years, as was done in Budva a few years ago at the proposal of the DF.
"We accepted this kind of compromise, and our colleagues from DF refused. The rejection of such a compromise arouses suspicion in me, but I don't fully believe that someone is looking for an excuse for something that would not be good and that would not be according to the will of the people. If it turns out that it was really a search for an excuse for something that is contrary to the will of the people, then those sentences from a few months ago would become clearer to me that the memorandum was nothing bad, that it was mint tea, that the government of Zdravko Krivokapić just needed to be overthrown and everything will flourish in Montenegro. That Joković is an honest man who will not betray us. It would then be clearer to me these appointments of the new government from the last and the previous session where some high political officials of that political subject were elected to important positions within the 43rd new illegitimate government. Let's not believe in it yet, let's give it a few more days, because I am a man who believes and gives a chance that reason will prevail and that no one will play with such a historic victory of the citizens of Beran", said Bečić.
He reminded that all political parties, which are not part of today's parliamentary majority, announced after the local elections in Berane that there is no government formation in Berane with those who "betrayed the electoral will of the citizens".
"After that, colleagues from the SNP announced that if this happens in Berane, they will make some political move in the municipalities where they share power with us, namely Herceg Novi, Mojkovac and Nikšić. We clearly told them back then in Herceg Novi, it seems to me, that you cannot try to do anything because you have no more councilors, because they left you because you committed political betrayal. As for Mojkovac and Nikšić, we also told them then, gentlemen, you earned those mandates again like on August 30, hidden in a large coalition on a pure anti-DPS position, and you got those mandates based on criticism of the DPS, and that's why we formed the government there with you. If it's enough for you to play with the defiance, pride and determination of the people of Nikšić and Mojkovic and do something, you are welcome, but I warn you in good faith that the Budva Gandhi struggle and the Budva democratic revolution of 2020, I think it will be a small cat if you try to strike on the will of the people of Nikšić and the will of the people of Mojkov", said Bečić.
