Negotiations on the formation of a new government should continue, and after the Bosniak Party's disagreement with the portfolios it received, its place was taken by a coalition headed by the president of the Democratic People's Party Milan Knezevic and the leader of the New Serbian Democracy Andrija Mandic.

Although the United States of America and the European Union had no understanding for Nova and DNP to be part of the government, it is alleged that Spajić has now received their tacit consent because BS has proven to be an uncooperative partner. There was no confirmation of this, but no denial of this information.

In the meantime, the Croatian Citizens' Initiative announced that they are not ready to be part of the "package" with Nova and the DNP.

Things are going well with the government, as long as Krstović is not touched

The leaders of the coalition "For the future of Montenegro" Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević asked the councilor club "For the future of Zeta" not to vote for the dismissal of the president of the Zeta Municipal Assembly today Luka Krstović, from among the Democrats.

Krstović scheduled two sessions for today with the same agenda items as on June 30, when there was no quorum to discuss them.

At the first session, councilors will express their opinion on the proposed decision on his dismissal, while later in the day they will discuss the Declaration on annulment and non-recognition of the decision and recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo and Metohija.

"Bearing in mind that the negotiations regarding the formation of the 44th Government are going in the right direction and in an atmosphere that can result in an agreement between the constituents of the former August 30 majority, the leaders of the ZBCG coalition Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević asked the councilors' club "Za budućnost Zeta" not to vote for the dismissal of the president of the SO Zeta Luka Krstović and thus give a contribution that can be decisive in the formation of the new government", the ZBCG announced yesterday.

They state that in this way, the ZBCG coalition "once again shows its broad-mindedness" and its willingness to find a joint agreement with the coalition partners from August 30, 2020, which would be in the interest of the citizens of Zeta and Montenegro.

The session of the Zeta parliament on the "recognition" of Kosovo was originally scheduled for June 11, after the closing of the polls in the parliamentary elections, but it was not held because there was no quorum for it even then - there were no councilors of the Zeta Future club at the session.

That club initiated the proposal regarding Kosovo at the end of April, a few days after Montenegro supported the proposal for Kosovo to join the Council of Europe.

After Krstović scheduled a session on the matter for June 11, his dismissal was requested.

Neither the SNP councilor nor the independent councilor who left the Democrats attended the session on the dismissal of Krstović on June 30, in addition to the initiator. At the second session on the recognition of Kosovo, even the DPS councilors did not appear, while the SNP attended the session.

The Municipal Assembly of Zeta has 32 council seats, 16 of which are held by the Zeta Future Club, the Democrats six, the SNP one, the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) eight, while the current representative of the Democrats Nikola Rajović acts as an independent councilor.
