Boris Mugoša (SD) asked if it is decent to have 19 ministers and five vice presidents.

He said that although they were not happy in the United Kingdom during the government negotiations, the majority they wanted was achieved.

"We are sorry that you did not understand our benevolence when we formed the majority. The attempt to disparage the United Montenegro leaves us with a bitter taste and that by doing so you made us to be restrained, and we got the majority we wanted.

Aleksandra Despotović (DPS) said that she is concerned about the European path of Montenegro and that she does not see algorithms for the application of certain measures in the exposition.

"This exposé is very eloquently written. Economic reforms cannot be implemented without a good political basis and monitoring of important processes. You have not convinced us that your Europe Now 2 program is economically sustainable and has a stable political basis," said Despotović to Mandate Milojko Spajić.

Zoja Bojanić Lalović (DPS) said that Spajić was nice to her and that he reminded her of some of her students who ran over a topic and charmed the class.

"Now choose the way to resolve the political divisions, while preserving the professional and the human," said Bojanić Lalović.

DPS Member of Parliament Sonja Milatović said that the political circus like the previous government, which sold the country in the worst possible way, is leaving, no less than under the baton of Dritan Abazović.

She said that Dritan Abazović is the biggest traitor in the history of Montenegro.

"And here, while a new, obviously anti-European government is being formed, while the cabinet is being formed with the help of the DF, I am left to ask where all these desolate and powerful Europeans have been hiding during all these years," said Milatović.

DPS MP Dušan Raičević said that the government will be shaky and full of various accusations.

Raičević said that he was very disappointed that he saw only one sentence in the exposition about the problems of local self-governments and that it was not clear how these problems would be solved.

"As an economist, I expected that the exposé would be dominated by the Europe now 2 program. Maybe we should have talked about that program with MP Pejović, who, as I heard, is one of the main creators of that program," Raičević said.

The president of the Croatian Civic Initiative (HGI) Adrijan Vuksanović said that he would not support the government.

He said that he still believes that the government is the result of political reality, necessity, and not the desire of the prime minister himself.

He said that the stability of a government is not made by arithmetic, but by principles, and what those principles are remains to be seen.

"We will not support this government for the same reason that we did not support Mandić for the Speaker of the Parliament, because the government will envy the former members of the DF and you will not be able to re-educate them," said Vuksanović.

Drita Lola, deputy of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), said that the rehabilitation of a politician from the 90s took place today.

"Serbia's interference in Montenegrin political processes is not a secret, but bearing in mind that Serbia did not understand its role in the crimes of the 90s and that political power by rehabilitating Mandić corresponds with its goals, it can be said that Montenegro is officially in the jaws of Greater Serbian nationalism." , said Lola.

Nikola Zirojević, deputy of the Social Democrats (SD), said that about 1.500 citizens are watching the session on the Assembly's YouTube channel, and "at this time, only the Cooperative and the Assembly are watching".

He said that with this structure of government, Spajić took the wrong path towards the goal of reducing social and ethno-national divisions.

04: 58h

DPS MP Nikola Milović assessed that the political environment defines the economic reality of Montenegro.

"And it is characterized by unpredictability and unsystematicity. We will have a collision of two economic concepts, and I don't know which model Mr. Spajić will come up with before the citizens. There has been no concretization of the realization of the government's economic goals," he explained.

04: 51h

Ana Novaković Đurović, deputy of the Citizens' Movement URA, said that the citizens were waiting for the representative Milojko Spajić until the last deadline to form the government.

"You will form a government with minority support, even though you were a big critic of that concept. Your paradigm was neither principles nor values, because there was no talk of principles or values, we only heard how you divided portfolios," Novaković Đurović pointed out.

She said that the 42nd government stopped the Spatial Plan, and that the 43rd government led to its realization.

He claims that the European Commission's (EC) report on Montenegro will not be the worst, as Spajić claims, and that Abazović's government has done a lot on the way to the EU, but could not close any chapter until the final benchmarks for chapters 23 and 24 related to on the judiciary and the rule of law.

DPS MP Jevto Eraković said that the course of the session shows that the "closed government" cannot last long.

"We see a pseudo, pro-Western majority. Instead of GP URA, its place is taken by PES and certain Albanian parties. Pseudo-citizen parties are only the fabric on which the worst and blackest Balkan nationalism is parasitized. The parasites are present on the hosts - first on Ura, and then on PES ", he said.

Erakovic stated that the Europe now 2 program is like a UFO (unidentified flying object).

"Everyone is talking about him, but no one has seen him," said Eraković.

04: 28h

Jevrosima Pejović, an independent member of parliament, said that in the previous period the entire public had the opportunity to hear her position on this topic.

"I was excluded from the Europe Now Movement (PES) due to disobeying the decisions of the Main Board (GO), and then the mandate holder would be excluded himself because he formed a government against the decisions of the GO. It would be extremely unwise for me to vote against this government, even though I asked for wider support. However, I have some fears, which is why I wouldn't even be able to support her," said Pejović.

She said she would abstain from voting on the government.

She added that she is afraid of unprincipledness and that the Orwellian "All people are equal, only some are more unequal" move from the party to the government.

She said that she has data from the 2011 census, according to which one third of the population is illiterate, has incomplete elementary school or only elementary school. 

"I think I am here on behalf of those with disabilities and impaired vision who did not have the opportunity to read the exposé of the mandate," said Pejović.

She praised the representation of women, but said that it is puzzling that someone with no experience will be at the head of the Ministry of European Integration.

She also said that the future minister of justice threatened her.

DPS MP Andrija Nikolić requested a break until the arrival of the mandate holder, and the Vice President of the Assembly Boris Pejović asked on what basis.

Spajić entered the hall at that moment.

MP of the Coalition for the Future of Montenegro (ZBCG) Slaven Radunović said that he does not make a difference whether the future prime minister is there or not, when he is not being talked about, but rather about the Chetniks and partisans, and is provoking the debate to last as long as possible.

He announced that the session would end.

Acting President of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and deputy of that party, Danijel Živković, replied that it was not about any obstruction, but about comments on what Spajić presented, and the session could be postponed until tomorrow.

DPS MP Andrija Nikolić again requested that the representative Milojko Spajić, who previously left the hall, come to the hall.

Filip Ivanović (PES) said that the MPs should stick to the topic and that this is a story about the 44th government and not the 44th year...

"Why should the representative be there when you are not discussing him?" Ivanovic said.

DPS MP Nikola Rakočević assessed that it is pointless to speak at four in the morning.

"This kind of topic deserves to be elaborated at a time when the public could hear what you are offering and what you are opposing. It is difficult for the public to satisfy its need to know and to hear," he said.

Rakočević said that scheduling the session at 12 midnight is an obstruction.

He said that the DPS offers a hand of cooperation to all those who see Montenegro as civil, anti-fascist, in Europe, in Euro-Atlantic integration.

Acting President of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and deputy of that party, Danijel Živković, said that the deputy of the Albanian Forum, Nikola Camaj, surprised him when he said, as a man, "at least because of the good that the DPS has done for the Albanian people and the foundation of civil society ".

"Good luck to you in the new coalition, don't forget what happened in the previous period, which is gratitude to the DPS and pro-regressive forces that saved multi-ethnic harmony from that policy that you brought to the head of the parliament with your vote," said Živković.

Camaj replied that they could not be slaves to what DPS did, but that DPS could not make the majority.

03: 59h

Albanian Forum MP Nikola Camaj, responding to DPS MP Nermin Abdić, said that DPS identifies the country with itself.

"We gave you the opportunity to build it as a civil state, but you dedicated yourself to other activities. Because you are where you are, no one is to blame, but your politics," said Camaj.

The deputy of the Albanian Forum said that he repeated several times that "he would rather be with Chetniks than with thieves".

"I didn't accidentally mention anger. If we were saying that, whoever signs it (principles), we will go with them, we don't have the luxury to say - now we won't. We based the campaign on the fact that we will be part of the government. Our goal is to be a part of the government, whether there is a Chetnik or a Partisan. We want Albanians to be involved, interested, to stay here," said Camaj.
