The Prime Minister of Montenegro, Milojko Spajić, announced today that he would absolutely not employ Ranko Krivokapić as a minister-advisor, as the head of Montenegrin diplomacy, Evrin Ibrahimović, did.
He said that he does not interfere in any employment that goes beyond the Government and said that each minister is responsible for the work of his department.
Spajić thus responded to a question from "Vijesti" in Bar today about whether he had called in the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ervin Ibrahimović, for consultations regarding the decision to appoint the honorary president of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Ranko Krivokapić, as a minister-advisor, and if so, what was the epilogue of those talks and if they did not, when he intends to do so.

"I have not yet managed to talk to Mr. Ervin Irahimović, or any other minister, about the criteria that each ministry should have when hiring the staff it needs. As far as I know, that employment was in accordance with the law. I criticized when I was the Minister of Finance, and Mr. Krivokapić illegally received a pension from the state. I was the first, and perhaps the only one at the time, to come out and be extremely against such a solution," said Spajić.
He also stated that he had not seen the details of this employment, but according to his knowledge, it is in accordance with the law, and that every minister has the right to choose his own associates and advisors.
"Would I do that? Absolutely not. Mr. Krivokapić had a chance, he held the highest positions in the state of Montenegro for 15-20 years. He did not introduce us to the European Union, he did not implement any of the foreign policy priorities that were important for the state of Montenegro at that time. It is not clear why this happened, but every minister should be accountable for the work of their ministries," said Spajić.
Today, he attended the laying of the cornerstone for the construction of a kindergarten in Bar.
