Although discussions are already underway about participation in the extraordinary parliamentary elections, part of the current majority parties do not give up their position that they should be postponed. He will communicate such an expectation to the newly elected president Jakov Milatović who will take office only on May 21, "Vijesti" learns.
After Milatović publicly said that there is no legal basis to annul the decree of the current head of state Milo Đukanović, on the basis of which the national elections are held on June 11, he is expected to issue a new decree after taking office that would postpone the elections.
According to the newspaper, he has not yet been informed about this because the meeting of the majority leaders, which was scheduled for Wednesday in the Parliament, and where it was supposed to be discussed, has been postponed.
As a reason for postponing the elections, some of the members of the parliamentary majority now cite the security situation in the country, that is, to continue the action of "breaking the mafia", which is an allusion to the arrest of police officials suspected of being connected to criminal clans. Until recently, an obstacle to the holding of elections was the fact that they were called by Đukanović after the dissolution of the Assembly by decree, which is being contested legally before the Constitutional Court.
For now, a new meeting of the majority has not been scheduled, and in the meantime, party consultations regarding quotas on the MP lists are ongoing.
Currently, the strongest parliamentary ruling coalition, the Democratic Front (DF), is talking about the fact that there should no longer be a "broad hand" when it comes to drawing up the list. As several interlocutors said, they are no longer ready to hand out seats to parties that will not follow their policy, and that would otherwise remain below the threshold if they were to run alone.
This is emphasized by the Democratic People's Party (DNP). Milan Knežević, whose leader, according to the newspaper's unofficial information, is the most serious candidate for the list holder of that alliance in the parliamentary elections. Whether it will be like that depends mainly on his decision, and the support of the New Serbian Democracy Andrije Mandić it is supposedly indisputable.
Whether the Socialist People's Party and the Movement for Change will be in alliance with the Front for the elections is currently uncertain. Both parties were on the list of the Coalition for the Future of Montenegro, whose pillars were Nova and DNP, and on that basis they each received five parliamentary seats and special parliamentary clubs.
According to current information, the SNP is now offered significantly fewer seats on the eventual joint list with the DF, so their negotiating team is allegedly negotiating with the Democrats and GP URA in parallel.
Democratic Montenegro told "Vijesti" that there are no negotiations with the SNP.
"There are no negotiations with the SNP about joint participation in the elections. The relations between these subjects are correct, but there are no talks about coalitions," they said.
The SNP did not answer whether and with whom they are negotiating a coalition.
