The Movement for Podgorica called on the president of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), Milan Knežević, to "harmonize his views with himself first" before calling for an agreement on the formation of the government in Podgorica.
The Movement for Podgorica, which is close to the President Jakov Milatović, was part of the coalition for a better Podgorica in the local elections in Podgorica, which also included the Movement for Change and the Citizens' Movement URA.
They told Knežević that by harmonizing their views, it would "make the choice much easier" for them.
"Today they don't give up on us, tomorrow they threaten us, and everything is wrapped in 'democratic' wafers," the Podgorica Movement announced.
Speaking on TV Prva, Knežević said that the "key problem" of the formation of the government in Podgorica is the communication and relationship between Milatović and the Prime Minister and leader of the Europe Now Movement, Milojko Spajić.
"At the moment, that communication is almost non-existent. We have communication with both of them and there have been some informal contacts that instill moderate optimism that negotiations can begin.... I think neither Milatović nor Spajić because of some of their personal, political or some other disagreements bring the citizens of Podgorica and all of us who participated in the elections and proclaimed that we will not form a coalition with DPS to a standstill," said Knežević.
The Movement for Podgorica urged Knežević not to "threaten" Milatović in his public appearances.
"His statements are certainly perceived by the public as threats with an 'empty gun.' would, this lively and vigorous, have more chances than former president Milo Đukanovic, deputy prime minister Aleksa Bečić or the head of the parliamentary majority Andrija Mandić", it is written in announcement.
Knežević also said that he will not support Luka Rakčević, the candidate of the Za bolja Podgorica coalition, as mayor.
"We see the URA as a partner in the government, even though they are not necessary for us. If the URA believes that there are no negotiations and talks if Luka Rakčević is not the mayor, then let them talk to the DPS," Knežević said, among other things.
When it comes to the negotiations in Podgorica and references to 'democratic principles', Knežević was reminded by the Movement for Podgorica that he is "for the 'democratic' crumbs he accepted in order to be in the government, where his coalition has twice as many deputies as Bečić's Democrats or Ibrahimović's Bosniak Party got three times fewer seats in the Government".
"I guess the political standards mentioned several times by MP Knežević meant that he, as the holder of the DF list in the parliamentary elections, would get, as the leader of the coalition, the position of the President of the Assembly. The Movement for Podgorica sincerely and friendly tells MP Knežević that first of all, it will make the choice much easier for us. Let him go. It did him good," concluded the Podgorica Movement.
