The opposition renounced political wolves

In Montenegro, it has happened many times that parties submit electoral lists on the last day, but it is very rare that almost none were submitted or confirmed a few days before the deadline.

This is what a long-time former secretary and now a member of the State Election Commission (SEC) told "Vijesta", Milisav Coric.

"Those who went to the elections independently, mostly tried to submit their lists as early as possible, in order to have more time for the campaign. However, this year the parties are leaving it for the end, which can be interesting from the point of view of political analysis," said Ćorić. (Socialist People's Party).

Although there are still three days left to submit the list for the upcoming state elections, so far only the People's Movement "Pravda za sve" has done so, to whom the SEC sent the list back for revision yesterday because it lacks about 200 signatures.

One of the reasons why he is hesitating to hand over the list is that some of the parties were counting on the option of postponing the June 11 election almost until yesterday. However, after they did not secure a majority in the parliament, it is certain that they will soon go to the polls.

In the meantime, some of the political actors have defined the arrangement in which they will do it, while some will do it on Monday, the day before the final deadline for the submission of parliamentary lists.

The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) decided yesterday at the session of the Main Board (GO) to participate in the elections with the Social Democrats (SD), the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Liberal Party (LP) and the Democratic Union of Albanians (DUA).

And while the General Assembly of the SD confirmed such a decision yesterday, and the LP has a session of that part today, the SDP decided to go to the elections independently.

DUA did not advertise.

The leader of the coalition gathered around the DPS will be the acting head of the DPS, Danijel Zivkovic, and there will be no previous leader on it Milo Đukanović, as well as the leader of the SD Damir Šehović.

There will be no DPS spokesperson among the candidates for deputies Miloš Nikolić, general secretary of the party Aleksandar Bogdanović, as well as those that the public recognizes as symbols of the 30-year DPS regime - Dear Boškovića, Duško Marković, Petra Ivanovica, Mevludin Nuhodžić, Luiđa Škrelje...

It will be on the list Nikola Janović, then Nermin Abdić, Drita Lola, Oscar Hutter, Aleksandra Vuković, Ivan Vukovic, Jevto Erakovic, Abaz Dizdarević, Sonja Milatović, Zoja Bojanić Lalović, Andrija Nikolić, Nikola Rakocevich, Dušan Raičević.

Some media reported that it was agreed that out of 81 mandates on the list (how many MPs the Parliament has), 21 belong to the coalition partners. DPS did not make an official announcement until the end of the list. It is also unclear how SDP's decision to reject the alliance will affect the list.

When it comes to the Europe Now Movement (PES), smaller parties and local lists that are negotiating a joint appearance with them, expect to know the epilogue of that process in the next day or two, it was confirmed to "Vijesti" from those political entities. United Montenegro and Novska lista reached an agreement with that movement, "Vijesti" sources said.

PES is still negotiating with the Citizens' Association CIVIS, the Justice and Reconciliation Party (SPP), and with smaller parties from Bar, Tivat... Those subjects, among others, supported one of the leaders of PES and the newly elected head of state Jakov Milatović in the presidential elections.

Member of CIVIS Srđan Pavićević, confirmed to "Vijesti" that talks are ongoing and that he expects their outcome to be known in the coming days. He claims that CIVIS negotiates only with that movement.

In the 2020 parliamentary elections, CIVIS was in a coalition with the Citizens' Movement (GP) URA, which will go to the polls with the Democrats this time.

Novska lista agreed on an alliance with PES. "We will definitely perform with PES, and we will agree on the details in the following days, probably on the weekend," he told "Vijesta" Jovan Subotic from Novska Lista. He stated that they are satisfied with the negotiations, and that their representatives will definitely be "highly positioned" on the electoral list.

President of the Municipality of Tivat and representative of the list "The People Wins" Željko Komnenović, told "Vijesti" that the performance with PES has not yet been agreed upon, and that they are negotiating with some other parties. "The decision will be made by the party authorities in the following days," he said. In the October local elections in Tivat, the list "The People Wins" ran in a coalition with PES, the Democrats and the Democratic Serbian Party (DSS).

GO PES is scheduled for Monday. This movement is appearing for the first time in the parliamentary elections.

As for the Democratic Front (DF), that alliance, according to unofficial information from "Vijesti", was supposed to determine the electoral list yesterday. However, that did not happen because, as the newspaper's source explained, the party positioning on the list is still ongoing.

It will be led by one of the leaders of the DF Milan Knezevic, and in addition to the constituents of the alliance - the New Serbian Democracy (Nova), the Democratic People's Party (DNP) and the Movement for Change (PzP), there will also be the Workers' Party (RP) Maksim Vučinić.

When it comes to minority parties, the Croatian Civic Initiative (HGI) announced yesterday that it will go to the elections alone.

Ibrahimović, Smailović and Strujić Harbić were proposed for the top of the BS list

As it was announced earlier, the Bosniac Party (BS) will also go independent. Today they have a meeting of the General Assembly, and according to "Vijesti" information, it was proposed that the list be headed by a leader Ervin Ibrahimovic, while they would follow him Amer Smailovic i Kenana Strujić Harbić.

With the exception of the DUA, the Albanian parties have also previously decided on the model of performance - in one coalition there will be Froca and the Democratic Party, and in the other the Albanian Alternative, the Democratic Alliance of Albanians and the National Union of Albanians.

Participation in the elections was also announced last year by the Preokret movement, while the Democrats are leaving the GP URA, and the Socialist People's Party will probably have to stand alone because the idea of ​​a centrist bloc, which they also advocated, failed.

Šehović: New, young and established are coming

In the press release after the session of the GO SD, it is clarified that Šehović remains at the head of the party, and that the list will include officials Boris Mugoša, Branislav Nenezić, Nihad Canović and Nikola Zirojević.

According to the press release, Šehović said at the GO session that he insists on the need for additional rejuvenation and expansion of the party's personnel offer. "That's why I proposed candidates for deputies who almost all come from the new, younger, but already sufficiently affirmed generation in the party, which is certainly able to cope with the biggest political challenges".

A narrow majority for the independent performance of the SDP

The SDP will participate independently in the early parliamentary elections, it was decided last night by a narrow majority of the GO of that party. There was no official announcement until the end of the paper.

They did not accept the coalition performance with DPS and three other parties. Such a possibility was announced by the Cetinje committee of the party. They concluded on Friday that a pre-election coalition with DPS, SD and LP would threaten the autonomy and independence of that state-forming party.

Last night, 29 members of the GO SDP voted for an independent performance, while 28 were against and three abstained, said the source of "Vijesti".
