PES: While Milatović was in PES, before he became president, he accused Abazović and his government

The attempt to relativize the success of the current government, which is publicly confirmed by our European partners by the president, is a continuation of the campaign carried out by our former official, the Europe Now Movement (PES) announced today.

The President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, said last night that by the time Milojko Spajić's government was formed, two-thirds of the interim benchmarks within the Report on Fulfillment of Interim Benchmarks (IBAR) had mostly been fulfilled - mostly as a result of the work of the 42nd and 43rd Governments.

PES said that while Milatović was in PES, and before he became president, he publicly and openly accused the president of the Civic Movement URA and former prime minister Dritan Abazović of forming an alliance with those responsible for the economic and moral collapse of the state.

"We remind you that on August 8, 2022, the current president just accused Abazović's government of being "un-European", citing five reasons why such a government should be voted no-confidence," the PES statement reads.

The party, which is headed by the current Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, said that Milatović pointed out: "The government has completely slowed down the process of tangible European integration, and appointed problematic party cadres and corrupt leaders of the previous DPS regime to important management positions, with unprecedented political revanchism." .

"The great successes of the current government in a very short time are not disputed by the most important European addresses, so we suggest to the president of the state that he primarily deals with his work, instead of assuming the role of protector of Abazović's government, which as a member of the PES he harshly criticized and accused for stalling European integration , which was also confirmed in the report of the European Commission," concludes the PES statement.
