Jovana Todorović, spokeswoman for the Democratic People's Party, said that the party believes that the executive director of Monstat, Miroslav Pejović, should be dismissed.
She also said that DNP "notices with astonishment" that Tihomir Dragaš, an official of the Movement for Europe, in addition to the position of chairman of the board of the state airline "To Montenegro", "seems to have also become the spokesperson of Monstat in defense of the deliberate obstruction in the publication of the results of the census".
"The only thing that is not clear to us is whether the position of Mr. Dragaš, and the position of Monstat, since he announced himself as a member of the commission for software specification and code revision. As impressive as another function in a series of Mr. Dragaš sounds, the citizens and the public are not not at all impressed by these and similar explanations why even after nine months we have not published the results of the census," she said.
"We openly suspect that this is a case of classic abuse of top people in Monstat, but also in the widely famous commission for software specification and code revision, which obviously do not agree with the results of the census, and are trying in every way to postpone the publication of the results or to soften the projection, which for some would be socially political structures was devastating," adds Todorović.
She said that this is why the DNP believes that Pejović should be removed from the position of director of Monstat, "because with his (in)action, he called into question the veracity of the results that will have to be published one year."
"Montenegro does not need another institutional affair, and the DNP will certainly not give it legitimacy by remaining silent or publishing the useful ambiguities that we had the opportunity to hear today," the announcement concludes.
