"Taking into account the fact that you yourself are the head of one of the political entities participating in the upcoming elections, I believe that the meeting in the format you proposed could be interpreted as a functionary campaign and that as such it would not essentially contribute to the democratization of our society."

Danijel Živković, acting president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and holder of the list "Together! For the future that belongs to you", announced that the list will respond to the invitation of the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, for a meeting in Villa Gorica, where representatives will meet of political entities participating in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

As stated in the DPS announcement, he also said that Abaz Dizdarević will represent that list at the meeting.

We transmit his letter to Milatović in its entirety...

"Dear Mr. Milatović,

I thank you for the invitation you sent me as the holder of the list "Together! For the future that belongs to you".

I appreciate your efforts aimed at starting a dialogue on such important issues related to electoral issues. As you are probably aware, the parties that make up the 'Together' coalition in the previous period, on several occasions, initiated discussions on this topic among the parliamentary parties. But, unfortunately, other political subjects did not show sufficient interest in harmonizing electoral legislation with good European practices and recommendations that would lead to the improvement of the situation in that area.

I will also remind you that these subjects insisted on the mentioned issues while they were in the opposition.

We believe that this topic is crucial for the democratic capacity of our society.

Bearing in mind the fact that you yourself are the head of one of the political subjects participating in the upcoming elections, I believe that the meeting in the format you proposed could be interpreted as a functionary campaign and that as such it would not essentially contribute to the democratization of our society. On the contrary, it is also possible that he would encourage new doubts about the sincerity of your intentions.

However, respecting the institution you represent, and wanting it to remain as constructive as possible, the 'Together' coalition will be represented at tomorrow's meeting by Mr. Abaz Dizdarević, vice-president of the Democratic Party of Socialists and candidate for deputy, who will represent our views, which are partially stated in this letter.

Once again, I thank you for the invitation and I believe that we will continue to cooperate for the good of Montenegro and its citizens," Živković wrote in the letter.
