The citizens who protested tonight in Podgorica first gathered at the Independence Square, after which they started the announced walk to the Parliament of Montenegro. After that, they went in front of the Government building, and then they returned again in front of the parliament.

"Why did you hunt us down, your Chetnik mother," they shouted in front of the parliament.

The citizens have dispersed, and the situation in front of the parliament is currently calm.

Earlier, the citizens tried to tear down the protective fence near the Assembly.

Some media reported that the Citizens' Group of Cetinje invited the citizens to the protest walk.

Members of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Nela Savković Vukčević and Draginja Vuksanović Stanković of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) were also at the protest...

The president of the OO Liberal Party, Jovan Rabrenović, also attended the protest.

During the walk, the participants shouted "treason, betrayal".

Due to the gathering of citizens, the traffic on the part of Bulevar Svetog Petar Cetinjsko, from the Blaž Jovanović bridge to the "Hilton" hotel, was closed to traffic.

"We don't give the state, where you are traitors, where you diggers, Chetniks," was heard in front of the Assembly.

"This is not Serbia" was also heard and the anthem of Montenegro was sung.

The participants also shouted insults against Prime Minister Dritan Abazović and Minister of the Interior Filip Adžić.

Vušurović: Parliament is not the only institution, the president is elected by your votes

Peđa Vušurović, the former president of the youth of the Liberal Alliance of Montenegro (LSCG), said that they were gathered despite the pro-Russian and pro-Serbian forces, proof that they are not bound.

He said that the parties are divided into those that are for Montenegro and those that are against it.

"Our voice is crucial and our word is the last2," he said.

"Parliament is not the only institution. The president is elected by your votes," said Vušurović.

He pointed out that the political and national destiny of Montenegro is at stake.

"If the board of governors does not know, the citizens will ask," he said.

He pointed out that the president of the Democratic People's Party (DNP) and one of the leaders of the Democratic Front (DF) Milan Knežević is a traitor, but that he "has a deep affection for him".

Vušurović said that even today they would not have this kind of government if Montenegro was not a country of paradoxes.

He said that the fate of Montenegro is in their hands, and that they are giving a deadline of seven days, so they will decide what to do next.

He invited the citizens to gather again in seven days.

He pointed out that money from outside decided the local elections in Podgorica.

Vusurović also said that they live for Montenegro, and that their goal is to leave Montenegro for them to divide.

More than a dozen citizens protested for hours in front of the Assembly building last night because of what they said was a "constitutional coup directed by the Democratic Front."
