The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) remains committed to the European path of Montenegro as a key strategic goal of the state and the interests of civil and modern Montenegrin society.

This was said by DPS president Danijel Živković, who yesterday met with the head of the EU delegation in Montenegro, Ambassador Oana Kristina Popa.

"In that direction, DPS will play a constructive role in political life, as it has until now," Živković said.

During the meeting, as stated in the DPS announcement, a review was made of the current internal and international political processes, "with a special emphasis on the steps that need to be taken in the coming period when it comes to the process of EU integration of Montenegro."

Živković, as they stated, assessing the evident stagnation in the integration process in the period from August 2020, indicated that this is a warning sign for all actors who want a stable and prosperous Montenegro to pay extra attention to the fulfillment and implementation of obligations from the EU agenda in the coming period.

He pointed out that the current parliamentary majority has not, as he stated, shown the capacity to lead Montenegro towards the EU and the improvement of democratic standards, "bearing in mind the attitude of the authorities towards the contemporary achievements of Montenegro and essential European principles and values."

Popa congratulated Živković on the position of DPS president.

She assessed that the strong pro-EU orientation of the largest opposition party in Montenegro is a significant asset on Montenegro's path to the EU.

As they stated, Popa encouraged all political actors to cooperate constructively, "above party interests, on the rapid implementation of key reforms from the European agenda and acceleration of the process of Montenegro's accession to the European Union."
