New Serbian Democracy (NSD) will not leave the coalition For the Future of Montenegro (ZBCG), Televizija Vijesti has learned unofficially.
The NSD unofficially said that the coalition is secure, but that they cannot influence the decision of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), led by Milan Knežević, if it decides to leave the coalition after leaving the executive branch.
The NSD leadership will make a decision on the party's political future at a meeting scheduled for noon today, after their long-time coalition partner decided to leave the executive branch.
The leader of the NSD and the President of the Parliament of Montenegro, Andrija Mandić, has called a joint session of all party bodies in expanded composition for today.

The DNP left the state government and the ruling coalition in Podgorica a few days ago, after the government last week refused to support their demands to resolve identity issues, namely - introducing the Serbian language as an official language, amending the Law on Montenegrin Citizenship (introducing dual citizenship with Serbia), and standardizing the tricolor as the "national flag". In addition, the DNP also demanded a dialogue on the, for them, controversial construction of a wastewater treatment plant in the Zeta settlement of Botun.
After the DNP's departure to the opposition, the majority at the state level remains stable, while a serious government crisis has arisen in Podgorica, which has called its survival into question.
In addition, the question of the survival of the ZBCG coalition, consisting of the NSD and the DNP, is also open. Knežević announced a few days ago that the party presidency had tasked him with initiating talks with Mandić about the future of their alliance as soon as possible.
