The opposition called for the unhindered holding of the local parliament session in Budva, warning that any contrary behavior could deepen the political and institutional crisis at all levels.
This was announced by the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), on the occasion of a meeting of the heads of parliamentary opposition caucuses from DPS (Andrija Nikolić), GP URA (Miloš Konatar) and Social Democrats (Boris Mugoša), as well as independent MP Jevrosima Pejović with MEP and permanent rapporteur for Montenegro, Marjan Šarec.
As announced, the meeting discussed the constitutional, political, value and security crisis in Montenegro.
"Representatives of the opposition expressed deep concern about the current political situation, emphasizing that the government is obstructing key processes that directly affect the functionality of the state and the process of European integration. Although the government's commitment to the European Union is often emphasized in public, the opposition pointed to a serious gap between the narrative and the actual policy of the parliamentary majority that is hindering progress in that process, as convincingly evidenced by the adoption of the Resolution on Jasenovac, which was adopted immediately after receiving the IBAR," the statement reads.
It is stated that at the meeting with Šarec, the opposition emphasized the necessity of annulling, as they said, the unconstitutional decision to terminate the office of a Constitutional Court judge, "by which the parliamentary majority violated the fundamental principle of the rule of law and the separation of powers defined by the Constitution."
Such decisions, they believe, confirm that the government is essentially acting against the interests of Montenegro, undermining the legal system and constitutional order.
It is emphasized that during the conversation, the obstruction of the formation of government at the local level, organized by the parliamentary majority, was particularly emphasized.
It was emphasized that for the successful continuation of Montenegro's integration path, it is necessary to set aside all issues that divide society, or to seek the broadest consensus among political actors regarding issues such as amendments to the Constitution in the area of identity issues or the Law on Montenegrin Citizenship.
"The opposition has concluded that the government and the parliamentary majority will take responsibility for the stalemate in European integration and for further political destabilization in the country, unless they return to respecting the Constitution and the legal order," the statement reads.
