The ideological division of the actors of the Montenegrin parliamentary majority causes concern for the further process of European integration, it was assessed at the meeting of the president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Danijela Živković with the director of the Regional Office of the Fridrih Ebert Foundation (FES) for Montenegro and Serbia Kirsten Schonefeld.
The DPS announced that Živković pointed to the circumstances that currently characterize the internal, regional and international political context, within which, as stated, the strong influence of pro-Russian structures is recognizable.
It is added that Živković said that he is concerned when it comes to the European perspective of Montenegro and the region.
He assessed that the ideological division of the actors of the parliamentary majority in Montenegro is of particular concern, which, as he stated, can threaten the strategic goals of the state and its European path.
Živković, as announced, thanked the German foundation for the expert and political support in the presentation of the political offer of DPS, which is based on the promotion of European and democratic values.
Schonefeld pointed out that FES recognizes the significant contribution of DPS in the process of European integration.
As announced by the DPS, she agrees in the assessment that the actions of certain actors of the ruling structure cause concern for the process of European integration.
"Which is why it is necessary to carefully monitor the situation and further steps in fulfilling the obligations from the European Union (EU) agenda," says the announcement.
DPS said that DPS general secretary Aleksandar Bogdanović, head of the Department for International Cooperation of DPS Svetlana Vuković and FES project coordinator Ivana Račić also attended the meeting.
As stated in the announcement, Bogdanović, pointing out the importance of cooperation with FES, pointed out that expert organizations provide support in making and implementing strategic decisions.
According to him, the DPS placed special emphasis on this type of cooperation, bearing in mind that through such engagement the party can spread its influence towards the voters, as well as at the international level.
The announcement states that future joint activities of DPS and FES were also discussed during the meeting, with the aim of intensifying exchanges and participation in projects for the improvement of democratic processes, strengthening pluralism and political culture within the party and society.
