The Committee for European Integration did not comment today on the opposition's request for a control hearing of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Filip Ivanovic and the Minister of European Affairs Maida Gorčević, considering that due to the non-appearance of members of the parliamentary majority, it did not have a quorum for work.
The President of the Committee, Ivan Vuković, stated that the Committee does not have a quorum for work, because only five deputies are present. Members of the government do not attend board sessions.
"The political reasons are clear. It is obvious that our colleagues, who work with us in the committee and represent the ruling majority, politically do not like this to be discussed. It is obvious that colleagues from the Bosniak Party are in political solidarity with them. I think the motives are clear here too," said Vuković.
Ivanović and Gorčević were supposed to be interviewed on the topic: "The deviation of government representatives from the official foreign policy of Montenegro and the consequences that this has on the EU integration process". The proposal for their hearing was previously submitted by Vuković, Mihailo Anđušić (DPS), Ana Novaković Đurović (URA), Adrijan Vuksanović (HGI) and independent MP Jevrosima Pejović.
In the explanation of the request, the representatives of the opposition stated that recently, on several occasions, there have been examples of inadequate attitude of high state officials towards the need to protect and promote the official foreign and political interests of Montenegro.
They stated that recently, the special envoy of the United States of America (USA) for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, stated that the USA was concerned about the fact that part of the parliamentary majority, in which they did not recognize the commitment to Euro-Atlantic integration, could become part of the Government.
"The vote of the representative of the coalition For the Future of Montenegro regarding the admission of Kosovo to the Council of Europe, as well as the violation of good neighborly relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, passed without a reaction from the Government," the explanation points out.
Novaković Đurović said that this is a bad message from the representatives of the parliamentary majority and the Bosniak Party to prevent the quorum and the organization of the control hearing.
"We witness that in the parliamentary majority, there is a deviation in our foreign-political orientation," she said.
Adrijan Vuksanović (HGI) said that he expected that the government representatives would not come, because they are actively silent.
"I have nothing to criticize my colleague Vukićević politically, but I congratulate her on her consistency."
Mihailo Anđušić (DPS) said that this speaks of a serious crisis in the Government and disunity in attitudes.
"We leave it to the citizens to see how the state is governed and how serious this is today, which we are witnessing," said Andjušić.
