Member of the presidency of the Democratic People's Party of Montenegro and representative of the Democratic Front in the Parliament of Montenegro, Milun Zogović, said that the least that can be expected from MP Andrija Nikolić is to vote for all four candidates for the election of judges of the Constitutional Court on Monday.
MP and member of the Presidency of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Andrija Nikolić told the MINA agency that everyone who cares about the European perspective of Montenegro will respect the opinion of the Venice Commission (VK).
According to him, Brussels and Washington warned the outgoing government and the parliamentary majority that it would be very irresponsible to ignore the opinion of the Supreme Court and vote for changes to the Law on the President in the second round.
"In order to confirm political consistency and moral principles, the least that can be expected from MP Andrija Nikolić is to vote for all four candidates for the election of judges of the Constitutional Court on Monday," said Zogović, according to the announcement of the Democratic People's Party.
He said that when he already points others to the necessity of respecting the opinion of the Venice Commission, it is natural, as he adds, to stand behind his words with a personal example, and thereby comply with the recommendations of numerous relevant European addresses and the Supreme Court itself on the necessity of electing the Constitutional Court at full capacity, in which as soon as possible.
"When he had already decided to interpret the opinion of the VC, and respecting his political experience, it is surprising that Deputy Nikolić did not recognize and convey the main message of the VC, addressed to the president of his party and the usurper of the Constitutional powers of the President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, which can most believably be described in words "Goodbye, Charlie", said Zogović.
He adds that unlike Nikolić, the Venetians have clearly indicated that Đukanović's violation of the Constitution is the cause of the institutional crisis, showing that even they, as a potential last straw, have no understanding for "Đukanović's desperate moves".
And that, as he pointed out, what Đukanović is doing and Nikolić is "blindly following" is at least the European perspective of Montenegro.
"Venetians openly pointed out to you that in 2007, during the adoption of the Constitution, you had a recommendation from them for an unblocking mechanism for the procedure of nominating a representative, proposing that "parliament be given the right to elect a prime minister within the parliament, if the first or first two are not elected candidate, proposed by the president", says Zogović.
Which, as he says, Milo Đukanović and Ranko Krivokapić did not accept, preserving the possibility of an unconstitutional blockade of the formation of the executive power for such occasions.
According to his words, it is obvious that they are most hurt by the understanding shown by the VC without doubting the benevolence and pragmatism of our legislative initiative.
"Democratic and political short-sightedness is best seen in your recommendations that the DF, which won the elections, should not be allowed to participate in the exercise of power based on the election results. This clearly confirms your unwillingness and immaturity to accept elementary democratic achievements, that your the political platform is destruction, chaos and institutional anarchy, and that, in fact, you don't want to find a solution, but to deepen the political and institutional crisis," Zogović points out.
That it is, as he claims, will best be confirmed when declaring for the election of four judges of the Constitutional Court, which they, as he states, do not want to elect.
"Your offer to elect only one judge is the most transparent destructive political maneuver. By electing one or two judges, the Constitutional Court remains dysfunctional and trapped in the jaws of DPS politics," Zogović said.
He says that it seems unreal that those who complain about the constitutionality of a legal act do not want to choose the Constitutional Court, which is the only one competent to decide on constitutionality.
Voting for judges of the Constitutional Court is the best measure, as he says, of who is on the European agenda and who wants an agenda of chaos and institutional anarchy.
"As one of the strong motives for anyone not to vote for judges of the Constitutional Court, various illegal foreign malignant influences of those who want to stop the European perspective of Montenegro should be reconsidered. As well as many other connections of your party with informal centers of criminal power, which through an attempt "The perpetrators of legal anarchy want to avoid personal legal responsibility. International partners want cooperation with a legally regulated state, which, believe it or not, Deputy Nikolic, must also have a Constitutional Court," concludes Zogović.
