Živković: The disempowerment of the parliamentary majority headed by Mandić has begun

"Budva was just the first stop. Soon, in April, Nikšić will experience a similar fate, and then Mojkovac and numerous other cities across Montenegro. In the end, we will send Andrija Mandić and this parliamentary majority into opposition and in this way show them that the state, the Constitution and institutions cannot be destroyed with impunity, but that a political price is paid for it," Živković pointed out.

The President of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Danijel Živković, announced that the disempowerment of the parliamentary majority, headed by the President of the Parliament of Montenegro and leader of the New Serbian Democracy (NSD), Andrija Mandić, has begun.

DPS announced that Živković spoke as part of the campaign for the upcoming 10th Congress at a public debate held in Žabljak.

"Budva was just the first stop. Soon, in April, a similar fate will be experienced in Nikšić, and then in Mojkovac and numerous other cities across Montenegro. In the end, we will send Andrija Mandić and this parliamentary majority into opposition and in this way show them that the state, the Constitution and institutions cannot be destroyed with impunity, but that a political price is paid for it," Živković pointed out.

He added that the time of responsibility is coming for everything that has happened in Montenegro in the last four years and that this is why the nervousness that has been manifested in recent days in the departure of members of the Parliament of Montenegro.

"They can distance us as much as they want, we will return them to behavior within the framework of the Constitution and the legal system and do it in a dignified manner as is our right. We have shown in these four years that we know how to stop this government on the path to the destruction of Montenegro, and we did it from a far less favorable, oppositional, role. We are responsible for the fact that Montenegro did not give in and that the plans aimed at the complete statelessness of the state did not materialize. We will continue with such an approach uncompromisingly and decisively, until the final victory and the end of this five-year agony," said Živković.

DPS Vice President Jevto Eraković said that lawlessness and unprofessionalism reign in Žabljak:

"I can't help but remember the healthcare system and how healthcare was organized in this city until 2020. I also can't help but remember the large investors we brought to Žabljak who were chased out of this city, which completely halted development," he pointed out.

Eraković added that citizens are still noticing what the political changes have led to, and that he is therefore certain that the end of this and this kind of government is approaching:

"For this, we need an energetic approach and to explain to citizens every day, in every place, what this government has brought us to. You will have great support in this from the new party leadership and especially from our president Danijela Živković, who has grown into a true leader whose effects of work were already visible last year with the growth of his rating in all local elections. Therefore, we continue together, until we bring about the necessary political changes," said Eraković.

The DPS statement states that the Head of the DPS MPs' Club in the Parliament of Montenegro, Andrija Nikolić, "commented on political developments in the last four years, but also referred to current events and the deep constitutional and parliamentary crisis that is shaking Montenegro."

"What we are witnessing this week is an escalation of Andrija Mandić's nervousness, who has begun to lose ground. After the debacle in Budva and the defeat in the strongest stronghold of New Serbian Democracy and the parties of the former Democratic Front, Mandić knows that the same scenario is brewing in Nikšić and then in all other cities in Montenegro. That is why he is trying to provoke conflicts in order to stop Montenegro's European path. However, we will return Mandić to the framework of constitutional proceedings but also to the position that naturally belongs to him - the opposition and minorities at all levels," said Nikolić.
