Milatović would also go to Podgorica: Part of the opposition expects that issues that do not concern the Constitutional Court will also be raised at the meeting.

Part of the opposition is allegedly planning to meet with the head of state scheduled for today Jakov Milatović, regarding the situation in the Constitutional Court, opened the issue of the formation of the authorities in Podgorica, "Vijesti" has learned unofficially.

A newspaper source from the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) said that the holding of opposition meetings at other levels, which those parties plan to organize during the day as a preparation for mutual formal negotiations on the constitution of the government in the capital, will depend on the epilogue of the talks on that topic.

Milatović's meeting with oppositionists, DPS, the European Union and the Civic Movement (GP) URA will follow a day after "Vijesti" announced that the Movement for Podgorica (PzPG) is one step closer to the decision to form a government in Podgorica with it and some other opposition parties .

PzPg announced yesterday that they are "not close to any negotiations, only an agreement, from any side", trying to deny the writing of the paper.

An interlocutor from that political entity, close to Milatović, said that due to recent events on the public scene, they do not see the possibility of making an agreement with the ruling parties at the state level. Among other things, due to the events with the Constitutional Court, i.e. the controversial decision of the Assembly to declare a judge of that court terminated from office, which the opposition calls a "constitutional coup" and for which he will speak today at 10 am in Podgorica with the President of Montenegro.

Although there are currently only informal contacts between PzPG and DPS, a source from the strongest opposition party assesses that it is with Milatović's close subject and GP URA Dritan Abazović, who ran together in the elections as the "Za bolja Podgorica" ​​party, can hardly agree on who will be at the head of the capital city. The reason for this, he explains, is that the DPS would not accept that the mayor was not their representative and the holder of the list Nermin Abdić, due to which they achieved an excellent result at the polls. On the other hand, GP URA insists that it be their official Luka Rakcevic, while PzPG said that he is the best candidate, but leaving room for someone else to be the candidate.

That interlocutor, however, claims that a potential measure of compromise could be the so-called rotation, i.e. - that Podgorica is led by a candidate of some for part of the mandate, and then by someone who comes from the camp of others. He underlines that it is unacceptable to the DPS that Rakčević, who led the coalition "For a better Podgorica" ​​in the local elections, will hold the position of mayor for the entire mandate, i.e. four years.

A source from the European Union, which includes the Social Democratic Party, the Social Democrats and the Liberal Party, said that rotation has been mentioned "a long time ago" in unofficial contacts regarding the formation of the city government, adding that he prefers a "clean model", that is, a four-year mandate with the same management team.

Interlocutor from the Party of European Progress (SEP) of the former prime minister Duško Marković, without which PzPG, GP URA, DPS and the European Union cannot come to power, he said that he is not optimistic that there will be an agreement on its establishment.

"Changing the existing government is imperative, because the citizens confirmed it by voting in the elections... We have no reason to be nervous - if they want a change of government, they can't do it without us; if the status quo is the same, we are the opposition, and that's it," he said. is.

The elections in Podgorica were held on September 29, and DPS won 19 mandates, the coalition of the Europe Now Movement (PES) and Democrats won 14, the alliance "For the Future of Podgorica" ​​13, the list "Za bolja Podgorica" ​​six, the European Union three, and SEP and the Movement "Revolution" for two mandates each.

Bearing in mind that there are 59 councilors in the Assembly of the Capital City, it is necessary to provide the support of at least 30 of them for the constitution of the government. If PzPG and GP URA unite with DPS, the European Union and Marković's SEP, they can reach 30 "hands" for the election of the government. However, as "Vijesti" announced, one PzPG councilor opposes cooperation with DPS, which is why that political arrangement is questionable. PzPG announced yesterday that it "shows complete unity" of its four councilors.

On the other hand, the ruling parties from the state level can establish an administration even without the votes of the GP URA, and with the support of four PzPG councilors. In that case, they would have 31 mandates in the Podgorica parliament.

Today, PzPG should make a final decision with whom to join the coalition. While waiting for that, an official of the European Union Boris Mugoša yesterday he invited Abdić, Rakčević and the holder of the SEP list Ilija Mugoš to meet in Podgorica in three days (December 23) and discuss the formation of the city administration.

That PzPG is one step closer to the decision to go with DPS was confirmed yesterday by the councilor of the strongest opposition party Andrija Klikovac, who said yesterday morning in the program "Colors of the Morning" on "Vijesti" Television that "positive signals" were received and that the constitution of the government with a subject close to Milatović is realistic.

While the opposition hopes to join them with the PzPG, the ruling PES, the Democrats and the coalition "For the future of Podgorica" ​​jointly told them last night to expect them to first give them a guarantee that they will not join with the DPS, and then an official invitation for negotiations will follow. .

They stated that they will not talk to PzPG until that entity ends "negotiations with DPS" and clearly states that it has "sincere will" to form a majority with the ruling parties.

Prime Minister and leader of PES Milojko Spajic, assessed yesterday that "all the false drama surrounding the fully functional Constitutional Court was a smoke bomb (because of) the coalition with DPS".

"We offered talks even before I returned to Montenegro - they don't want to. We offered to have the Constitutional Court assess the constitutionality of the Parliament's move - they don't want that either. Good luck in both chambers, next time we'll see pink smoke at the gender reveal party for revealing the gender of the child)", Spajić wrote on the Iks network.

After the meeting with part of the opposition, Milatović should talk to Spajić in the evening. However, "Vijesti" has not confirmed that the meeting will take place until the end of this issue.

After the president announced an invitation to the prime minister for a meeting at the end of November, which Spajić welcomed, it was interpreted as a "step towards an agreement" on the formation of the government in the capital. However, a day after the invitation and assessment of experts in political opportunities for important international addresses to assist in the reconciliation of former party comrades, the two exchanged harsh words, and the meeting did not take place.

The deadline to constitute the Podgorica parliament by electing its head expires on January 5 of the coming year, ie - 60 days from the publication of the final election results in the Official Gazette (the mayor is elected no later than 30 days after the constitution of the parliament). If this does not happen, the president will have to call for new elections.

The government in Podgorica was made up of PES (from which PzPG emerged), a coalition gathered around the former Democratic Front (list "For the future of Podgorica), Democrats and GP URA.
