The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) is concerned about the announcements about the reconstruction of the Government, which should include actors who continuously show an anti-European character, which can open up space for a stronger influence of third parties, said the leader of that party, Danijel Živković.

As reported by the DPS, Živković said this at a meeting with the ambassador of the Netherlands, Joust Reintjes, with whom he discussed the current political processes in Montenegro and further steps that must be taken in the process of European integration, with a special emphasis on obtaining the IBAR- a.

Živković reiterated the firm commitment and constructive role of DPS to the European path of Montenegro, but also determination when it comes to protecting national interests.

He assessed that receiving IBAR from the European Commission would be positive.

"But at the same time, he expressed the DPS's concern regarding the announcements about the reconstruction of the Government, which should include those actors who continuously show their anti-European character, which can open up space for a stronger influence of third parties," the statement says.

Živković stated that the goal of third parties is not only to block membership in the European Union (EU), but also to change the civic character of Montenegrin society.

He introduced Reintjes to the process of immediate intra-party elections for the leadership of DPS at the central and municipal level.

Živković assessed that in that process the DPS showed the capacity to adopt European values ​​when it comes to the improvement and transparency of intra-party democracy standards.

Reintjes confirmed the support of the Netherlands in the further steps of Montenegro on the way to EU membership.

"Reflecting on the current issue of the Resolution on Srebrenica, which captures the attention of the domestic and international public, Reintjes expressed the expectation that the current and future governments and political actors in Croj Gora will be in line with European values," the announcement states.
