Although the agreement on the formation of the government has not been made official, most of its potential constituents are already planning who should represent them in the government, "Vijesti" has learned unofficially.

When it comes to the Europe Now Movement (PES), which should be a pillar of the government, the best chances are that they represent them, not counting their leader and candidate for prime minister Milojko Spajić, have members of the Party Presidency Branko Krvavac i Filip Ivanovic. Krvavac should be the minister of finance, and Ivanovic should be the minister of foreign affairs.

In the game for some of the other positions planned for that party are, as speculated, i Maida Gorčević Šukurica, Anđela Jakšić Stojanović, Andrej Milović i Vasilije Carapić, also members of the Presidency. However, "Vijesti" could not confirm that they will be proposed as ministers.

PES, in addition to the three positions mentioned, should also propose candidates for the ministers of transport and maritime affairs, spatial planning, urbanism and state property, European affairs, education, science and innovation, justice, labor and social welfare, health, and energy and mining. .

According to several sources from the party, the Democrats have not yet dealt with personnel issues, because they are waiting for the agreement on the government to be formalized and the head of the parliament to be elected. During the July and August negotiations on the government, people from the top of the Democrats - the leader Aleksa Becic, Secretary General Boris Bogdanovic, as well as vice presidents Momo Koprivica i Dragan Krapović.

According to the draft power agreement, the Democrats should offer a deputy prime minister for security, political system and internal policy, a vice president for European and foreign affairs, and ministers of the interior, defense, tourism, ecology, sustainable development and northern development, as well as culture and media.

As for the Socialist People's Party (SNP), their leader Vladimir Jokovic will be, according to "Vijesti" information, a candidate for the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management. He currently covers that position as well as the position of Deputy Prime Minister.

A source from the SNP claims that he will no longer hold the position of Minister of Sports and Youth Vasilije Lalošević, but that it will be offered to the current Minister of Health and Vice President of the SNP Dragoslav Šćekić. If he does not accept the offer, the interlocutor states that the position will be offered to one of the younger officials of the SNP, one of whom is Miloš Rajković.

Another source, familiar with the government negotiations, claims that Joković is looking for another seat in the executive branch for the SNP.

According to "Vijesti" information, he should represent the Albanian alliance in the new government Fatmir Đeka, who will most likely retain the position of Minister of Human and Minority Rights.

Official of that coalition and leader of the Force Genzi Nimanbeg, should be the vice-president of the Assembly from among the parliamentary majority. According to the draft agreement on government, he should be nominated for that position by the PES. Nimanbegu also held the position of vice-president in the previous convocation of the parliament.

When it comes to another Albanian coalition, the Albanian Forum, its official Marash Dukaj he should remain in the position of Minister of Public Administration if they accept the offer to participate in the government. That coalition also received the position of Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Policy with the Department of Economic Development, but so far there is no information on who could cover it.

In the new government, as things stand now, there will be no representatives of United Montenegro (United), which ran with PES in the elections on June 11. However, "Vijesti" learns that the United hope to be able to enter the government through the reconstruction, which is planned due to the constituents of the coalition For the Future of Montenegro (ZBCG) - New Serbian Democracy (NSD) and Democratic People's Party (DNP), which until then he will not be in the executive branch.

According to the draft agreement, the NSD should propose the head of the Assembly, and the most likely candidate for that position should, as "Vijesti" previously announced, be the leader of the NSD Andrija Mandic. According to the sources, an agreement was reached on this at the level of the ZBCG coalition.

That alliance should support the cabinet of PES, Democrats, SNP, the Albanian Forum and the Albanian Alliance from the parliament, so the parliamentary majority would have 48 deputies.

Spajić's mandate for the composition of the government expires on November 8.

Albanian forum still councils, constituents to enter the government

Although the Albanian Forum announced last week that they will announce by Monday whether they will join the government, they have not yet made that decision.

Official of the Albanian Forum, Nik Đeljošaj, wrote on Facebook last night that analysis and consultations within that coalition are underway.

"When we have a final position, we will inform the public in a timely manner. Good and serious decisions, however, require a little more time. This will have a positive effect on paid 'analysts' for additional fees for commissioned texts targeting Albanians, I have to think a little about economic development as well", he stated.

The Albanian Forum consists of Đeljoša's Albanian Alternative, the Democratic Alliance of Albanians (DSA) and the National Union of Albanians.

According to "Vijesti" information, the DSA unanimously supported the entry into the government, in the National Union of Albanians, the majority was in favor of it, while in the AA, one of Đeljošaj's deputies was against the idea.

According to the knowledge of "Vijesti", it will depend on the decision of the Albanian Forum, whether the Albanian Alliance will join the government. Although it accepted Spajić's invitation, that coalition does not want to be the only representative of Albanians in the government, in case the Albanian Forum gives up.

Initialing the agreement by the weekend?

Potential partners in the future government should sign the coalition agreement, the draft of which was submitted to them last week, by the weekend, "Vijesti" has learned unofficially.

One source claims that so far there have been only formal objections to the draft agreement, but not those concerning foreign policy issues.

The draft, among other things, defines that potential constituents will have to commit to supporting full compliance with the foreign and security policy of the European Union (EU), which implies continued support for sanctions against Russia, while respecting all internationally assumed obligations and agreements.

The document states that the future executive power will be focused "on a clear programmatic course", and that its foreign policy orientation will be based "on active and credible" membership of Montenegro in NATO, full commitment to EU integrations, accelerated process of accession to the EU. ..
