On Friday, Prime Minister Milojko Spajić will answer the questions of members of the Assembly, who, among other things, are interested in his position on the rebuilding of Njegoš's chapel on Lovćen, which was announced by the President of the Assembly Andrija Mandić during the awarding of the Thirteenth of July Award.

The MP of the Social Democrats (SD) Nikola Zirojević will ask Spajić to comment on the statements of the head of the parliament Andrije Mandić, but also to state his position on that initiative because, as he states in the question published on the Parliament's website, those statements "deeply divide Montenegrin society and can potentially lead to a serious deterioration of inter-religious and inter-ethnic relations in Montenegro".

URA GP leader Dritan Abazović will ask the Prime Minister "if he is behind the organized attacks on the head of the Special Police Department Predrag Šuković and the chief special prosecutor Vladimir Novović, as implied by the Minister of Justice Andrej Milović".

Abazović planned to ask this question at the previous prime minister's hour on July 1, which was prevented from being held by members of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), due to, as they stated at the time, Spajić's disrespect for parliament. A few days before that, Spajić asked for the postponement of the prime minister's hour, which was scheduled for June 29.

Croatian Civic Initiative MP Adrijan Vuksanović will ask the Prime Minister how he evaluates the relations between Cme Gora and Croatia during his mandate. The head of the Parliamentary Club of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Danijel Živković, will ask Spajić if he thinks that Montenegro will be able to start the procedure of closing the chapter at the end of the year.

"Montenegro received the IBAR (Report on the assessment of the fulfillment of temporary benchmarks for chapters 23 and 24), we entered the final phase of negotiations with the EU. The party I lead, after the restoration of independence, pursued two key goals, membership in NATO and the EU. Until 2020 In the negotiations with the EU, Montenegro opened all chapters and temporarily closed three", said Živković.

Boris Bogdanović, head of parliamentary affairs for the Democrats, has several questions for Spajić, one of which is whether "arresting and prosecuting suspects and those accused of committing the most serious crimes in the field of organized crime and corruption is revenge against elected, appointed or otherwise engaged persons in the system public administration".

"Has anyone from the public administration been threatened with losing their job because of their political commitment or lack of commitment? Do you have information that the heads of bodies in the public administration punished employees, because of their political commitment, by reassigning them to jobs outside the place of residence? Or were they asked to vote for a certain political option? Are any high-ranking officials of the parties that were in power until the formation of the 44th Government of Montenegro? If not, how do you evaluate the claims that "The special state prosecutor's office, the security sector, that is, the Government of Montenegro are persecuting political dissidents from the parties in power? How does your government deal with criticism of revanchism while trying to fulfill promises to fight organized crime and corruption and strengthen the rule of law," asks Bogdanović.

On behalf of the Special Club of Deputies, Jevrosima Pejović from the Special Club of Deputies will ask Spajić if he will submit all transactions from his "numerous crypto-wallets since he was a public official" to the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.

The head of the Parliamentary Club of the Europe Now Movement (PES) Vasilije Čarapić will ask Spajić what his vision is for the strategic development of Montenegro and how the Development Bank of Montenegro would support future strategic infrastructure and development projects in Montenegro.

The president of the Parliamentary Club ZBCG - DNP, Milun Zogović, is interested in whether the Prime Minister is satisfied with the current dynamics of the implementation of the Europe Now 2 program.

"What is the deadline for the implementation of all measures from the program and are the media announcements that the abolition of pension contributions and the reform of the Pension Disability Insurance Fund are a necessary precondition for the full implementation of the Europe Now 2 program?", asks Zogović.

Socialist People's Party (SNP) deputy Slađana Kaluđerović will ask the prime minister about competition policy:

"As citizens and as politicians, we are aware of the oligopoly that reigns in the market of insurance, electronic communications, banking, and especially in the market of retail chains, what are the further steps we will take in the direction of changing the policy of competition protection, in order to prevent the abuse of power which brings huge profits to individuals, while harming the economic environment and economic growth of the country and directly hitting the pockets of our citizens"?

BS President Ervin Ibrahimović will ask Spajić when an agreement will be signed with Germany on the recognition of driver's licenses from Montenegro.

"The Bosniak party has intensive contacts with the diaspora, which is very numerous in Germany, and from these contacts we know that for the citizens of Cme Gora who temporarily reside and work in Germany, the issue of recognizing driver's licenses from Montenegro is very important. In the previous period, we actively worked with our colleagues from the Bundestag to create assumptions for this issue to be resolved, so, considering that there is an evident willingness of both parties to reach a formalization of the solution, it is important that this issue be actualized," Ibrahimoić states in the explanation of the question.

NSD MP and Nikšić Municipality President Marko Kovačević will ask the Prime Minister whether the Government is ready to participate in the implementation of the "Sunny City" project in that municipality. This project is implemented by the Municipality of Nikšić and the Electric Power Company of Montenegro, with the aim, as previously announced, to solve the housing issue of the residents of Nikšić in a high-quality manner.
