Democrats: Čelanović and SD leave lists of those accused, suspected or convicted of the most serious crimes

"Regarding Šavnik, let us repeat once again: The status quo is unacceptable. Every right to vote is sacred, but it must be real, not fictitious. The Democrats will unblock the electoral processes through legislation, because the citizens of Šavnik cannot be held hostage to the manipulations of the former regime," the Democrats said in a statement.

The lists that the Secretary General of the Social Democrats (SD) Miloš Čelanović and the SD are leaving behind are not electoral lists, but lists of those who are currently accused, suspected or have already been convicted of the most serious crimes, Democratic Montenegro announced today.

They reacted to Čelanović's statement, which, among other things, states that it would be best "for the Democrats to compile a list of their members, relatives, neighbors, godparents and those who want to be officials so that we can somehow adapt the law to those needs and unanimously vote it through in parliament."

"Mr. Čelanović, if you are already talking about lists, the least you can do is not raise the topic for which you are remembered in both the legal and political history of Montenegro. Because the lists that you and your party are leaving behind are not electoral lists - but lists of those who are today accused, suspected or already convicted of the most serious crimes," the DCG statement states.

The party said that it would be useful to remind Čelanović that, as they said, its president Ivan Brajović had proposed Veselin Veljović for the position of director of the Police Administration.

"That he also proposed Slavko Stojanović, who admitted that he smuggled under pressure. That Zoran Lazović received his first high-ranking position in the security sector, the position of Head of the Sector for Combating Organized Crime, precisely at the time when your party president was the Minister of Internal Affairs," the Democrats' statement points out.

They add that an invoice from the "Stara kuća" restaurant for the amount of 3009 euros of budget money is also very interesting.

"Regarding Šavnik, let us repeat once again: The status quo is unacceptable. Every right to vote is sacred, but it must be real, not fictitious. The Democrats will unblock the electoral processes through legislation, because the citizens of Šavnik cannot be held hostage to the manipulations of the former regime," the Democrats' statement reads.

The party said they would like to remind everyone that "in a municipality with around 1.600 voters, 371 people from other municipalities were registered - and 237 of them returned to the addresses they came from immediately after election day."

"This is not a coincidence. This is a scheme. And it is this scheme that we will break up, lawfully and decisively," the Democrats said in a statement.
