The European Union, which will include the Social Democratic Party (SD), the Social Democrats (SD) and the Liberal Party (LP), has a broad coalition capacity and can be potential partners for all, except for the parties of the former Democratic Front (DF), assessed professor and methodologist Miloš Bešić.
The European Union, in which, apart from SDP, SD and LP, there will be independent intellectuals, university professors, ecological and social activities and citizens who have not been actively involved in political life until now, will be officially presented tomorrow.
Bešić told the MINA agency that the European Union can appeal to ten to 12 percent of the electorate.
He pointed out that it is very difficult to assume the scope of that alliance, stating that it will depend on their organization and the way they present themselves, as well as on who will be the first man of the alliance.
"I have no doubts that they are already somewhere around five-six percent, according to my free estimate," said Bešić.
Speaking about the coalition capacity of the European Union, he said that, except for the DF, everyone is a potential ally.
"It is a structure that has a very broad coalition potential. Apart from parties with an explicit pro-Serbian orientation, I think that they can be very desirable for all other structures and actors," said Bešić.
He said that in Montenegro there is room for any new structure, if it really is a new structure in some way.
"This alliance is new, and it has a novel character, not because of the actors who make up that alliance, but because in that part of the political being of Montenegro or the voters, there is a very intense area of some 10-12 percent of the voters, who are actually very close to the zone of what this new structure should represent", said Bešić.
As he said, these are civil voters, loyal to Montenegro and "non-Serb oriented".
"But equally voters who are too critical of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and all its practices and voters who belong to the civic anti-DPS fabric," said Bešić.
He assessed that for that electorate, which counts between ten and 12 percent of the voters, such a movement is an ideal offer.
"They will have many trials, they will have to go through certain steps. First, we will see how effectively it will function as an alliance or a single party. They must be a new unified party, not a collection of previous parties," Bešić emphasized.
As he said, another thing is the question of the leadership of the European Movement, that is, who is the first man in that story.
"It's always important, the personification of a certain policy has its weight. "I'm not sure who will be the leader of that new structure, but when we see it, we will have a more realistic assessment," said Bešić.
He said that of the electorate to which the European Movement is pleading, the majority of voters still vote for DPS, and a part also votes for minority parties.
"There is a minority citizen-oriented electorate to which they can be very acceptable," believes Bešić.
As he added, a part of that electorate votes for the Europe Now Movement (PES), and maybe a little bit for the Democrats.
Asked what are the good sides of the formation of the European Union, Bešić said that Montenegro generally needs the association of all those with similar programs.
According to his assessment, there are too many parties in Montenegro without an immediate need.
"A large number of parties, and these three are a typical example, which ideologically, spatially, civilly, even psychologically, represent the same structure. If you have a unique offer, there is no need to have a larger number of lots," said Bešić.
He stated that, unfortunately, instead of consolidating, the political scene in Montenegro is further fragmented, citing the example of DF, which, as a clearly profiled pro-Serbian opinion, split.
"Any type of association in Montenegro is completely legitimate, acceptable and desirable, because we have too many parties for the same electorate," said Bešić.
