The parliamentary majority causes political instability and in reality moves Montenegro away from the European course and the European system of values.

This was said by the president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Danijel Živković, who met with the EU's special envoy for dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and other regional issues of the Western Balkans, Miroslav Lajčak.

As announced by DPS, during the meeting it was assessed that Montenegro should remain focused on the European agenda, in order to take advantage of the current momentum of enlargement and achieve EU membership in the near future.

"The process of EU integration is not just about sticking to obligations, but above all, political stability is needed, which cannot be recognized within the parliamentary majority," said Živković.

Looking back at the process of the local elections that were held, Živković assessed that the DPS won the most votes and thus showed that it has the capacity to maintain stable support.

He said that this confirms the fact that the citizens "recognized the arduous struggle to protect the state interests of Montenegro and preserve and build democratic values ​​in society."

Živković pointed out that he expects the results of the election to have a long-term impact on the political direction of not only Podgorica, but the whole of Montenegro.

Lajčak, it was announced from the DPS, welcomed the constructive oppositional role of the DPS in the European integration process, especially when obtaining the IBAR, and added that the EU wants Montenegro to continue to be a success story.

"Montenegro has a unique opportunity to make rapid progress in the negotiation process, and I call on all political actors to unite around that goal," Lajcak said.
