Novaković Đurović said that she expects that an agreement will be reached and the government will be formed.

"We will constructively participate in the dialogue...", she said.

Kaženegra Stanišić said that she believes that an agreement will be reached.

"Political actors who are in favor of the Andi-DPS policy have enough power to form a government in Podgorica.

Rakočević said that it is possible to reach an agreement based on principles.

"Abdić will lead the team in the negotiations. The last message is that the government has failed, only someone will tell it soon," Rakočević said.

21: 55h

Bešić said that the agreement will be very difficult.

"It seems to me that it is very difficult to reach an agreement. The thesis that the legitimacy of the Government should be examined is legitimate, but I think that the legitimacy of the President of Montenegro should also be examined. What is clear to the citizens is that somewhere the truest theses of the Urokret Movement are that this is a struggle of different party interests, where everyone forgot the citizens...", said Bešić.

21: 46h

Rakočević said that DPS was not rehabilitated by the 43rd Government, nor by Spajić's Government.

"DPS was trusted by the citizens in the elections. And this is where you can see that DPS is growing. We believe that the reason for this is that we presented a new party structure..." said Rakočević. 

21: 34h

Kaženegra Stanišić said that the 43rd Government "rehabilitated DPS".

21: 30h

Novaković Đurović said that the Government was delegitimized after the elections in Podgorica.

"Government's policies and moves put the wind at DPS's back...", she said.

Rakočević said that in four years in the opposition, they had time to see the weaknesses of the DPS.

"We offered new personnel solutions. I think the citizens of Podgorica and throughout Montenegro showed and sent a message that they respect the fact that we made some kind of personnel reform and offered a new DPS for a new time. There is still room for improvement..." said Rakočević. .

21: 18h

Kaženegra Stanišić said that Mujović said that he would not go in a coalition with those who made life miserable for Olivera Injac, but that the party authorities would decide on that.

"Decisions are made by party bodies...", she said.

21: 03h

Novaković Đurović said that all future agreements will be tied to what is agreed at the level of the "For a better Podgorica" ​​coalition.

20: 48h

Bešić said that what the newspaper "Za bolju Podgorica - Jakov Milatović" is saying "is sending a message through twisted terminology" - "our first address can be the coalition PES - Democrats, provided you accept that we have a mayor".

"And if not, the same can apply to DPS. That's the message I hear. I think it would be wise to give up as soon as possible because neither PES-Democrats nor DPS will give it to them. Once they have this practice passed...", said Bešić.

He said that he "cannot imagine" forming a coalition between PES-Democrats and "Za bolja Podgorica".

"To me, it is much more logical to create a coalition between DPS and 'Za bolja Podgorica' because both are on an anti-government platform. The winner of the elections in Podgorica is DPS..." said Bešić.

20: 40h

Rakočević said that Milo Đukanović is no longer the president of DPS "nor does he decide on its fate".

"We have always been clear with that man. If he wanted to manage DPS, he would probably have been a candidate in the elections for the president of DPS and probably be president. However, it is Danijel Živković and the management who elected DPS. Former president Milo Đukanović has no ambition to join the DPS, nor does he. The politics of the DPS is led by a new generation...", claims Rakočević.

20: 36h

Rakočević said that the achieved election result of the DPS in Podgorica was up to the offer of that party, and to a significant extent also up to the messages of the parties to the Government.

"Hatred towards DPS was and remains the only identity card of the political parties that are in power at the central level. Neither Podgorica nor Montenegro can develop like this..." said Rakočević.

He added that the Government has no concrete results, and that there were none with the previous local administration in the capital.

"On the wave of absolute delegitimization of the Government, which remained at 40 percent, we are already going to extraordinary parliamentary elections next year, because we believe that Montenegro is moving away from what is the national interest, the interest of the citizens of Montenegro, and we believe that the constitution of the government in Podgorica on the basis of strength alternatives of the parties that are in the Government of Montenegro, we can get a chance for Montenegro to move faster towards the adoption of further European values..." said Rakočević.

When asked if DPS would accept Luka Rakčević as mayor, he answered:

"Nermin Abdić will have a team that will lead the negotiations, if they happen. The most important thing for us is the program basis and the vision of the development of the capital city. It should not be hidden - we once gave minority support for the Government and we do not have a good experience with that. I believe that with 30 It was rude to talk about minority support. But it is true that we have to count on compromises in the negotiations. What is most important to us is the program policy and the vision of the capital..." said Rakočević.

20: 30h

Novaković Đurović told Kaženegra Stanišić that if she has any information that the coalition "For a better Podgorica" ​​no longer exists, she should disclose it.

In her reply, Kaženegra Stanišić repeated that "the key to the agreement is the possibility of forming a majority with Milatović".

20: 27h

Kaženegra Stanišić said that the Democrats will not be in a coalition with the DPS.

"During the negotiation process, the political subject of Jakov Milatović, that is, four councilors of Jakov Milatović, is at stake this time. I am sure that Milatović would never have made the decision to form a coalition with the DPS. There was a lot of inflammatory rhetoric in the campaign, is that it is not a good practice and that has led to the fact that today the DPS has a result of 24 mandates, which was the same as in the earlier period...", said Kaženegra Stanišić.

She added that the achieved "election result is excellent" and that the lower turnout sent a message that all parties should hear.

Novaković Đurović said that if an invitation for negotiations arrives from DPS, "we will make an agreement in the coming days and when the invitation arrives."

"Citizens can know that we will transparently say when we receive invitations which platform we are going with, and the platform is the program and Luka Rakčević is the mayor," said Novaković Đurović.

Rakočević repeated that he will be proactive towards all parties that are not in the government.

20: 23h

"We heard the leader of the Movement Europe Sad-Democrats list (Saša Mujović) clearly state that they will not be with us. The question then arises with whom they will go. The government is delegitimized because the leader of the PES-Democrats list said that the Government is defending itself here in Podgorica. the government defended itself and its answer is that it has 44 percent support," said Novaković Đurović

20: 15h

Novaković Đurović said that after the results of the elections in Podgorica, they did not regret having caused the extraordinary elections.

"The problems in the capital began when there was a split in the unified PES, which made the city administration not functional. When it became clear that an agreement could not be reached, they simply decided to return the mandate to the citizens. I believe that it was correct and fair move. The citizens said they wanted a change, because 60 percent of the citizens voted for what the Gread administration has not delivered so far...", said Novaković Đurović.

20: 09h

Rakočević also said that it is possible to reach an agreement on the formation of the government.

"All the parties declared themselves very clearly and presented their platform to the citizens... The political parties that make up the Government of Montenegro and that had the majority in the capital remained in the minority. The parties that were against the government parties in the capital came to 57 , 58 percent...", Rakočević said. 

He added that if an invitation comes to the DPS, he will accept interviews.

Rakočević said that he will not accept negotiations with the parties that are in the Government of Montenegro.

"It is always possible to reach an agreement. Arguments, disagreements, harsh words led to this kind of result and this kind of turnout. The citizens condemned this kind of rhetoric," said Kaženegra Stanišić. 

20: 05h

"It is good that another election in a row was held in a fair and democratic atmosphere. There are some objections, but I would say that Montenegro is moving in the direction of democratic development. The low turnout of messages should worry everyone. I believe that everyone can reach an agreement "We came to these elections with clear promises and that we will stick to them. If everything is principled and clear, an agreement is possible," said Novaković Đurović.
