President of Prava Montenegro and Member of the Parliament Marko Milačić sent an initiative to the outgoing Prime Minister Dritan Abazović today requesting that the Parliament of Montenegro initiate the procedure for the dismissal of the Minister of Defense Raško Konjević and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ranko Krivokapić.
"Given the fact that in your speech during the vote of no confidence in the Government, in the Parliament of Montenegro, you stated that the current Minister of Defense Raško Konjević is the contractor of "some structures", and that you stated for a long time that Ministers Krivokapić and Konjević "are not part of the team" , as well as the fact that you repeatedly presented similar qualifications about these ministers, and with which the general public agrees, we suggest that you submit to the Assembly a request for their dismissal in accordance with the powers of the Prime Minister from Article 105, Paragraph 3 of the Constitution of Montenegro," the initiative states. .
Milačić adds that the fact that at least two portfolios in your government are covered by ministers "who have connections with "certain structures", as you stated several times", and as it is common knowledge, and that one covers the most sensitive security sector - the portfolio of defense, the minister who provides military-intelligence equipment, as well as special forces with the greatest combat capabilities compared to all other branches of security, "which relativizes the entire security system of Montenegro and the safety of citizens".
"The second, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ranko Krivokapić, is the only state official who, along with the President of the State, the Prime Minister and the President of the Assembly, has the right to represent Montenegro abroad, and to manage the information network and officially inform foreign representatives about the situation in Montenegro, and thus directly affects the affirmation of the reputation of "some structures", while it also affects the collapse of some other structures that try to create a society free from blackmail, crime and corruption. The same minister publicly relativizes the danger of organized crime and creates divisions into the most down-to-earth, and diplomatic, cultural and morally extremely unacceptable ways," the initiative reads.
Milačić proposes that, together with the remaining members of the Government, Abazović submits the aforementioned proposal to the Assembly at the first session, so that the Assembly can act and the security system and state institutions can perform their work.
He reminded that according to the Constitution of Montenegro, the Government against which no confidence was voted in the Assembly has only one limitation in its actions, which is that it cannot dissolve the Assembly in accordance with Article 110 paragraph 2 of the Constitution.
"The fact that the Constitution decided to explicitly regulate the limitations of the Government whose mandate has ended, it is equally and explicitly clear that all other Constitutional powers of the Government of Montenegro, including the organizational, personnel and functional powers of the Government remain in force even when the mandate of the Government ends, all until the election of the new government", announced Milacic.
In accordance with that, the party pointed to "numerous personnel tasks that the current government is carrying out smoothly in accordance with constitutional and legal powers, including the dismissal and appointment of a new head of the ANB, as well as other authorities and ministries".
"In addition to that and the previous one, the 42nd Government, whose mandate had ended, introduced coercion to the management of the Budva Municipality, so that in the constitutional and legislative practice of the work of the Government whose mandate had ended, there is no obstacle to the performance of the duties and powers prescribed by the Constitution and laws of Montenegro Above, when it comes to appointments, dismissals and other organizational and personnel matters under the competence of the Government of Montenegro, in the matter of any body and institution, the Government itself is not exempted from the application of those personnel powers," it is stated.
Milačić ordered that the powers of the Government whose mandate has ended "are not subject to any type of constitutional regime other than the one prescribed for the functions and competences of the Government", except for one from Article 110 paragraph 2 of the Constitution of Montenegro.
"And we suggest that you act in accordance with the already quoted, clear and repeatedly applied in the parliamentary practice of Montenegro, Article 105 paragraph 3 of the Constitution of Montenegro and propose to the Assembly the dismissal of these two ministers", it is stated in the initiative sent by Milacic to Abazovic.
