The spokesman of the New Serbian Democracy, Mirko Miličić, said that today, four years after the change of government in the elections on August 30, 2020, Montenegro has a stable government that has historical support in the parliament and whose goal is to make the living standards of citizens the best in the country by the end of the mandate. region.

He said that on that date "freedom was won".

"Four years after the magnificent and democratic victory in the parliamentary elections in Montenegro in 2020, we are finally seeing the first results of those changes for which the people raised their voices and gave support to the anti-DPS bloc. The most significant asset won that day is freedom, in the full sense and we see that it is the foundation on which we are building a better future in our country. This date has a special significance for us, because it is the culmination of our thirty-year struggle for a democratic, free and equal society. We do not separate August 30 from everyone of those protests, campaigns and political battles that we have been leading for years, as the headquarters of the opposition against the then criminal regime," Miličić said.

"Although the previous three years were extremely politically turbulent, as usually happens when a nation feels its true power for the first time in the form of a democratic change of government, today finally, after two failed experiments, we have a stable government that has historical support in the parliament and whose is the goal to make the standard of living of the citizens of Montenegro the best in the region by the end of the mandate, which means that the amounts of salaries and pensions are the highest and that real jobs are created, both in the public and private sectors, so that all those who they want to work and find employment. At the very end, the memory of August 30 cannot be complete without the memory of all those who are no longer with us and who invested their lives in the struggle for freedom let's never allow any kind of totalitarianism to take root in Montenegro," concluded the NSD spokesperson.

"There are no future governments without the ZBCG coalition"

NSD Member of Parliament Jelena Božović announced that August 30, 2020 brought necessary changes and a new political reality "healing for Montenegro and all its citizens".

"The Serbian people in Montenegro made a key contribution to the removal of the former government," she stated.

He also says that "the defense of the church through peaceful lyrics by the believing people is one of the most magnificent movements of modern history", that is, "the defense of the Church also defended the dignity of Montenegro".

"Montenegro was freed from the grip of a brutal regime that treated citizens as subjects, while privileged individuals enriched themselves by using Montenegro as a private state. "Montenegro was recognized as a country of endemic corruption, where the relationship between government and crime was completely intertwined, and all state resources and capacities were put at the service of one party: the Democratic Party of Socialists," said the NSD MP.

She said that today "in the full sense we have" democracy, a parliamentary majority and a Government made up of numerous parties, where there is mutual control at all levels, but also consensus and compromise on many important issues.

"We have a stable government, a stable parliamentary majority, which guarantees peace and stability to all citizens," says Božović.

He also says that "for the first time" there were "political representatives of the Serbian ethnic community" in the government and that "the injustice of August 30, when the winners of the coalition for the future of Montenegro were excluded from the government, was corrected."

"Zdravko Krivokapić and Dritan Abazović misused the narrative that representatives of the former DF, later ZBCG coalition, cannot be part of the Government. The fact is that we have proven to be a constructive partner both at the state and local level, our personnel have shown the knowledge, will and ability to work for the interests of the citizens in the best possible way, and now it is clear that there will be no future governments without the ZBCG coalition. , adds Božović.

She concluded that they were and remained consistent with political principles, which, as she states, are "the interest of the Serbian people respecting the rights and freedom of all others in Montenegro, the establishment of a legal and democratic state, a better standard of living through an increase in wages, pensions and the eradication of crime and corruption."

"At all levels, citizens have felt the benefits of changes and significant developments, and we will continue in that direction in the future. We were and remain a key factor for the change of government, and we remain key partners for all the changes for the better that lie ahead in the years ahead," concluded the NSD member of parliament.
