President of Montenegro Jakov Milatovic consultations with political parties on the mandate for the formation of the new Montenegrin Government will begin today.

At the president's residence in Cetinje, Milatović will speak with representatives of the Europe Now Movement at 12:15, with the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) at XNUMX, and with the New Serbian Democracy (Nova) at XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.

Milatović previously said that, although he has a deadline of 30 days, he expects the consultations to end sooner, that is, within the next 15 days.

"We need to get a stable and European government as soon as possible. I will do my part, and I think that there should be enough responsibility and seriousness on all sides of the political spectrum," said Milatović.

The representative announces his program in the Assembly and proposes the composition of the government.

The parliament decides on the mandate program and the proposal for the composition of the government at the same time.

In the new convocation of the Assembly, the paper Movement Europe Now (PES), which he led Milojko Spajic, has the most deputies - 24, and the Zajedno coalition, gathered around the Democratic Party of Socialists, headed by Danijel Zivkovic, 21 deputies.

According to the results of the elections, which were held on June 11, the Coalition for the Future of Montenegro received 13 parliamentary seats, the Coalition of Democrats and the Citizens' Movement URA 11, and the Bosniak Party six.

The coalition of the Socialist People's Party and Demos and the Albanian Forum each have two representatives in the parliament, and the Croatian Civic Initiative and the Albanian Alliance have one each.

At the same time, negotiations on the formation of the Government are being conducted, and the Center for Civic Education (CEO) warns that changes in the organizational structure of the Government, i.e. the reorganization of that system from 12 to a possible 24 ministries in just a few years, can lead to serious problems that have negative consequences in public administration services.

Assistant in programs at CGO, Nikola Obradović, pointed out that frequent changes, through mergers and separations of departments, significantly complicate the work of public administration in the internal organization.

"Which leads to external problems in addressing the needs of citizens, but also to those that make it difficult for business entities to work, including non-governmental organizations that try to contribute to democratization through monitoring of public administration."

He reminded that any organizational change in that system entails a series of administrative procedures, including the development of new internal documents and systematization.

As he stated, this is very demanding in terms of professional capacities and time, if compliance with other elements and functionality of the system is taken into account.

He pointed out that the CGO believes that changes in the organizational structure of the Government must be based on analyzes of that system and the needs of its rationalization, depoliticization and professionalization.

"The analysis of those needs, but also the integrated mechanisms for preventing abuses in the process of negotiations on each new government or technical mandate, should also be reflected in the Law on Government".
