The president of the Croatian Civic Initiative (HGI) Adrijan Vuksanović said that it is natural that the mandate for the composition of the future government should be given to the leader of the Europe Now Movement, Milojko Spajić, because that list won the most mandates in the elections.
He also said that he respects the views of the "For the Future of Montenegro" coalition, but does not see them as partners in the future government, while, as he adds, the Democratic Party would provide stability to the executive power.
"We will not enter the executive power at any cost and we will not offer ourselves a lot, not only because of the fact that 'who offers a lot is worth less', but because of certain principles," said Vuksanović for Radio Montenegro.
The future government, he says, will be stable if they gather around the same values and principles. When it comes to those principles, he adds, they are membership in NATO and the path to the European Union.
"We see Montenegro in the West and we can only negotiate with those who gravitate to those views," Vuksanović stated, as reported by Portal RTCG.
He also says that there should be representatives of Serbs in the future government, but as he adds, he does not identify them only with the "For the Future of Montenegro" coalition, which consists of the New Serbian Democracy and the Democratic People's Party.
"I want representatives of Serbs and Montenegrins and the minority to be in the government. One of the reasons for the instability of the previous two governments is that we did not have Montenegrin representatives," said Vuksanović.
It is clear, as he said, that the policies of the "For the Future of Montenegro" coalition are not compatible with the HGI policy.
"As for HGI at this moment, although they have largely changed the narrative, we believe that more time is needed to make sure that they have moved from verbal to concrete. Therefore, at this moment, they are not acceptable partners for us in the future government," he said. is Vuksanovic.
When it comes to DPS, with their entry into the Government, as he points out, they would gain the stability of the future executive power.
"Whether that will happen depends on those who won the most votes in the elections," he added.
He also says that the negotiations on the formation of the government are at the very beginning.
"We had talks with our traditional coalition partners, we also had several phone conversations with Spajić, who we expect to be the mandate holder, but no specifics were reached in the negotiations. Time is ahead of us and I think that in the coming period we will make the negotiations concrete", said Vuksanović.
He also points out that their "traditional coalition partners" are subjects from the sovereignist bloc, that is, DPS, SD and minorities. He is also satisfied that minorities have such a large number of mandates for the first time, and that, he says, is good for Montenegro.
He also says that so far there has been no concretization of a joint performance in the negotiations between HGI and the minorities.
"We have communication and I expect that we will finalize it in the coming days," said Vuksanović.
The Croatian Citizens' Initiative won one mandate in the parliamentary elections, and Vuksanović says he is satisfied that they have returned their parliamentary status.
"We won a record number of votes, HGI has never had 2.301 votes," he pointed out.
Vuksanović expects the Do Kwon case and the accusations against PES leader Miojko Spajić to be investigated by the competent authorities.
"It is necessary to investigate the affair to the end," concluded Vuksanović.
