Bečić re-elected as president of the Democrats: There is no eternal Montenegro without economically and socially empowered citizens...

The current president of Democratic Montenegro, Aleksa Bečić, was unanimously re-elected to that position, at the party's third congress.

At the congress, the presidency of the party was elected in the new convocation, and the general secretary of the party, Boris Bogdanović, was re-elected.

Two of the five party vice-presidents proposed by Bečić were elected - Momo Koprivica and Dragan Krapović. As Bečić said, the remaining vice-presidents will be elected after the end of the youth and women's congress and the creation of other assumptions, the leadership of the party will be fully equipped.

After his re-election to office, Bečić said that the time of anti-democracy and autocracy has passed and that Montenegro lives in freedom.

"We brought freedom together - political, social, economic, social, religious and legal. We brought what makes Montenegro eternal, because there is no eternal Montenegro without economically and socially empowered citizens, without socially and politically free citizens and without strong institutions. From strong citizens give birth to strong institutions, and from strong institutions, a true, genuine, independent, reconciled, civil and steadfast Montenegro is born," said Bečić.

Bečić said earlier during his speech at the congress that he will continue to build Montenegro as a country where jobs are clean.

"We have traveled a difficult path, but an honorable one," Bečić said at the party's third congress.

Bečić said that they faced discord among those who were not expected to have it, but that they mostly managed to overcome that discord and built awareness that in a democracy agreement on all issues is not only not necessary, but can be dangerous as well.

He pointed out that the levers of management are in their hands, stating that they participated in the election of the judge of the Constitutional Court, members of the Judicial Council, the first female governor of the Central Bank in the history of the country...

"I invite you, regardless of your current roles, to unite around the European future of Montenegro," said Bečić.

He said that in Montenegro no one will be stronger than the state, law and justice.

"I give you my word," said Becic.

Over 1.800 participants of the Congress will elect the Democratic President, the Statutory Commission, the Supervisory Board and the Main Board of 125 members. The Congress will elect over 50 percent of new people, 80 percent of university graduates, 43 percent of young people and 33 percent of women to the Main Committee.

Congress will comment on reports on the work of all party bodies, including the Democratic president.

Prime Minister of Montenegro and leader of the Europe Now Movement (PES) Milojko Spajić said that in Bečić and the Democrats he sees people who understand that real change comes from the heart.

"Today I stand before you, not only as the President of Europe and now the Prime Minister, but also as your friend who believes in the unlimited possibilities of our country and the people I see in front of me," Spajić said.

He said that at the heart of the coalition lies a vision, not only of economic prosperity, but also of a society that cares for each individual.

The Vice-President of the Bosniak Party, Jasmin Ćorović, said that with the appearance of the Democrats, new energy and political quality appeared on the political scene, and that he is sure that they will last for a long time and be an important factor in Montenegro.

"We see the Democrats as a potential political partner with whom we can move towards a better future towards the family of European states," said Ćorović.

NAU President Ferhat Dinoša said that he knows that they are one of the important parties that forms the government headed by Spajić and on which the further path of the country depends.

"Albanian parties are also part of the government. Inevitably, everyone must know that Montenegro has state-forming national minorities," he said.

FORCE President Genci Nimanbegu said that he expects the Democrats to continue to be a true democratic party.

HGI President Adrijan Vuksanović said that the relations between HGI and the Democrats were correct, even while HGI had extra-parliamentary status.

"What unites us is Montenegro and its future," Vuksanović said.

The President of the Municipal Council Jelena Borovinić Bojović said that cooperation, togetherness and commitment are necessary to achieve the necessary reforms.

DNP Vice President Maja Vukićević said that they have cooperation at all levels and a common goal - a stable and prosperous Montenegro that should become a member of the EU.

"I believe that we will succeed in this," said Vukićević.

The Minister of Human and Minority Rights, Fatmir Đeka, said that they are close to an agreement on closer cooperation at the local level as well.

Slaven Radunović (New Serbian Democracy) said that members of the Democrats were comrades in many battles, including the biggest one - on August 30, 2020, when they liberated Montenegro.

"The next thing we have to offer the citizens and the state is stability and predictability. Our young people must know what awaits them in the future," Radunović said.

Deputy Prime Minister for Demography and Youth and Minister of Sports and Youth Dragoslav Šćekić (SNP) said that the citizens of Montenegro have never needed unity and togetherness more than today.

"Citizens need real changes that we promised then (2020)," said Šćekić.
