Milatović expects that all parliamentary groups that did not vote for Vučinić's election will respond to the consultations.

President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović said that mostly all parliamentary groups that did not vote for the election of Mirjana Vučinić as a judge of the Constitutional Court will respond to the consultations that begin today.

Milatović told reporters in Podgorica today that consultations will continue in the coming days.

"As far as I understand, mostly all parliamentary groups that did not vote will respond to the consultations," said Milatović, who invited all parliamentary groups to consultations regarding the election of Constitutional Court judges.

Vučinić, Milatović's candidate for judge of the Constitutional Court, did not receive the required two-thirds support of MPs in the Parliament ten days ago. 16 opposition MPs (Democratic Party of Socialists and Social Democrats) and independent MPs Jevrosima Pejović and Radinka Ćinćur voted for her election, while 44 government representatives abstained. Some government MPs resented Vučinić for being a lawyer for the Bemaks company.

When asked by reporters about the missing ambassadors, Milatović replied that he would hold consultations with the Government.

"The conversation will be constructive. I expect the other side to come up with some acceptable names. The conversations will be held," he stressed.

He added that the cabinets have already started talking - his and the foreign minister's.

"We will just take the talks to a higher level - I, the minister, and maybe the prime minister will be present," he said.

Asked to comment on yesterday's events in the Parliament, the head of state said that Supreme State Prosecutor Milorad Marković should pay additional attention to certain cases, and that citizens should hold him accountable for this.

"Citizens see that justice ends with the action of the SDT and SPO. Someone is arrested, then released a few days later," he said.

"We look at Ms. Vesna Medenica who comes to court every day. Well, she can, but she can't. If justice should end with an arrest, and we don't have a court epilogue that doesn't come about because of inadequate indictments, it's better not to have such justice. That's how I understood yesterday's debate in the Parliament. Citizens elected me, but also MPs, so that we could express some of our views," said Milatović.

When asked about awarding the order to the late Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, Amfilohije, Milatović assessed that NGOs that criticize his decision have the right to think so.

"I think that the perception of one part of the NGO sector is wrong. I said that there are three arguments why I, on behalf of the state, which is my right, award him the order. I cannot award him an order that is intended for foreign citizens. One reason is that the metropolitan was a key person in preserving peace. The second is that he stood at the head of a spiritual resistance that led to the change of government that opened the door for us to full membership in the EU. And the third - that Amfilohije was one of the most educated priests and while he was at the head of the Metropolitanate, Montenegro was visited by world religious dignitaries, and in that way he increased the reputation of Montenegro," he said.

Milatović avoided answering which order he would award, but said that the award would be given today.

Asked to comment on Amfilohije's controversial statements, Milatović said that many who received medals had made such statements. He added that he was ready to talk to everyone about it, but that he "does not understand the moral superiority of the NGO sector."

"There is a lot of corruption in government, but they don't mind it. But they do mind when a medal is awarded to a man who deserves it," he said.
