Parliament Speaker Andrija Mandić said that the ruling majority has the strength to change "even the Constitution".
He said this in response to the evaluations of the president of the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Andrija Nikolić, who accused the ruling majority that "the minister and vice-president was not the only one who would not", because of the announcement that two vice-presidents of the parliament would be voted in by changing the rules of procedure in the Assembly. Nikolić called that move "legal acrobatics" so that "part of the majority would be respected".
Mandić said that thirteen deputies did not allow the beginning of the prime minister's hour yesterday, two hours longer than it should have been.
"I had the same feelings in relation to your parliamentary club, and I had the same in relation to what happened yesterday. As you civilly answered, I have the desire to explain to you, unlike some who have the need to curse and insult. It was never there was such a parliamentary majority that has two-thirds support in the parliament. This parliamentary majority can pass all laws - from electoral ones to even changing the Constitution. Such a majority gathers and wants to gather all the important forces in Montenegro that are not in the background of those policies lasted 30 years", he said and added that the parliamentary majority rests on the given words, which preserves its unity.
The President of the Assembly called Nikolić a skilled politician, who is looking for every crack to harm the parliamentary majority.
The head of the DPS deputies' club replied that the candidacy of the Bosniak Party deputy Mirsad Nurković for the vice-president of the Assembly is "a reward to the BS for not keeping the Prime Minister's hour".
With the votes of the majority of deputies, Nikola Camaj was elected as the vice-president of the Assembly from among the minority parties, while with changes in the rules of procedure, Mirsad Nurković (BS) will become the second vice-president on August 16. Camaj's election is also the result of a change in the parliamentary rules, after the impossibility of an agreement between the minority parties while BS was in the opposition.
