The leader of Prava Montenegro, Marko Milačić, called on the Prime Minister and the leader of the URA General Assembly, Dritan Abazović, to withdraw his support for the proposal to amend the Law on the Territorial Organization of Montenegro and the Capital City and thereby, as he states, "effectively end support" for the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).
In the announcement, Milačić and Prava call on Abazović to vote for the amendments that will be submitted to the parliamentary procedure today, "which foresee adequate boundaries of the future municipality of Zeta, as well as the voting of Zeć residents in the already scheduled and unconstitutionally postponed elections for Podgorica."
"If today the URA still aligns its vote with the DPS vote on the issue of Zeta, it is clear that that party does not intend to withdraw from cooperation with the DPS, which will be a very important signal ahead of the session on August 19, when the vote of no confidence Abazović's Government. Real Montenegro indicates that Prime Minister Abazović did not present the plan for the reconstruction of the Government, which he flat-out announced last night in an interview," the announcement states.
In the statement, Prava Montenegro points out that until the detailed reconstruction plan of the Government, which, as they state, must be agreed upon before the session of no confidence in the Government, "today's position on the future of Zeta and Podgorica will be the main determinant on the basis of which we will observe the policy and position of URE and in accordance with team to make decisions concerning the survival of the Government."
"Namely, in this way, the formation of Zeta as a poor and unsustainable municipality according to the DPS plan is prevented, but also no less important is the prevention of even the slightest possibility that the DPS, through the legal violence of these legal provisions, will retain any political foothold after the upcoming elections in the Capital City of Podgorica. "Prava Montenegro reminds that the constitutional and legal deadline of four years for holding elections in Podgorica has expired, as well as that the legally scheduled elections were unconstitutionally postponed, which was confirmed by the Constitutional Court," the announcement states.
Therefore, as stated by Milačić, all local elections must be held in those territorial units, including the capital, where they were legally scheduled at the time when they had to be held according to the Constitution and legal order of Montenegro.
Any other concept, says the leader of Prava, beyond the rules that were valid on the day they were scheduled, i.e. on the day when they had to be held according to the Constitution, represents "a dramatic violation of the democratic will of the citizens of Zeta and Podgorica and their basic right to vote and be elected in accordance with the Constitution and legal order of Montenegro."
