Marković: The opposition wants to stop Montenegro's European path

"Since their party is ahead of the interests of citizens, their boycott will directly jeopardize the never-before-seen credit rating, investments, approved funds for the Western Balkans, and directly stop the start of construction of the second section of the Mateševo-Andrijevica highway," the PES MP pointed out.

It is obvious that behind the boycott of the Parliament are old mechanisms of blackmail and terror, party and personal interests, and the end result that the opposition wants is to stop economic prosperity and stop Montenegro's European path, said Dane Marković, MP from the Europe Now Movement.

He said that if the opposition does not allow the budget to be voted on, it will take responsibility for the unacceptable halt and delay of: salary increases for members of the Army of Montenegro, on average by around 120 euros; an increase in proportional pensions for over four thousand pensioners with incomes below 450 euros; an increase in pensions, on average by 50 euros, for over 40 pensioners; and resolving the long-standing problems of the Igalo Institute.

"Since their party is ahead of the interests of citizens, their boycott will directly jeopardize the ever-better credit rating, investments, approved funds for the Western Balkans, and directly stop the start of construction of the second section of the Mateševo ​​- Andrijevica highway," Marković pointed out.

He pointed out that as a doctor and humanist, he is particularly concerned that it will not be possible to proceed with the procurement of an MRI scanner and the reconstruction of three operating rooms at the Bijelo Polje General Hospital.

"The tender for the procurement of magnetic resonance imaging for the hospital in Nikšić is also being stopped, as is the project for the procurement of PET scanners, a project that the health system has been waiting for for decades, and it is a device of exceptional importance for the treatment of cancer patients," said the PES MP.

He added that the start of construction of the University Clinical Center, then the General Hospital in Pljevlja, the Health Center in the City Quarter... will also be postponed.

"We will not allow this and we will go even more determinedly to new victories," concluded Marković.
