The heads of the four opposition parliamentary clubs requested a meeting with the ambassadors of the European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA) and Great Britain (UK) regarding the announcement that changes to the Law on the Voter List will be on the agenda of the upcoming Assembly session.
In the letter to the ambassadors of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), the Bosniak Party (BS), the Social Democrats (SD), the Croatian Citizen Initiative (HGI) and the Democratic Union of Albanians (DUA), it is stated that the changes were included in the agenda without dialogue and agreement at the Committee for a comprehensive reform of the electoral legislation.
"If the government moves the legal matter on the voter list from the Committee for Comprehensive Reform of Electoral Legislation, without dialogue and agreement with the opposition, then the intention of the parliamentary majority is to overturn the agreement on the principles on which the Committee was formed," the invitation letter says.
It is added that the intention is to provoke a parliamentary crisis in Montenegro.
In the letter signed by the presidents of the four parliamentary clubs, Andrija Nikolić, Amer Smailović, Boris Mugoša and Adrijan Vuksanović, it is stated that they see this as the latest attempt to completely exclude the opposition from parliamentary life.
"Bearing in mind that the parliamentary majority grossly disavowed the supervisory role of the opposition over the work of the executive branch and trampled on the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly and long-standing parliamentary practice, rejecting the passage of the "minority initiative" defined by the Rules of Procedure, that is, the initiative on control hearings of representatives of the Government regarding the implementation of the Europe Now 2 program" , is evaluated in a letter to ambassadors.
The leaders of the opposition parliamentary clubs emphasized that they are worried about the destruction of the basic democratic principles on which the parliamentary democracy in Montenegro should rest.
They invited the ambassadors to a meeting tomorrow at 17 pm, in the Assembly.
