The executive director of MANS, Vanja Ćalović Marković, said that it is an absurd situation that, in the government, the state is decided by those who do not have even 10 percent of voter support, as well as that the parties in the parliament decide that when they go to the elections, " perish from Europe now".

"They are now looking at how to postpone the elections, so that the citizens would forget that they received benefits through the Europe Now program, and that in two years they would hope that they would somehow recover and not experience what happened to them here at the elections in Podgorica. And what about the legitimacy, the will of the citizens? We have parties that have changed their course so much compared to what they were talking about in 2020, that no one in Montenegro knows clearly what is the government and what is the opposition," she said in Colors of the Morning on TV News.

She said that the citizens punished the political parties in the local elections, but that they did not learn a lesson, but were sending the same messages.

Ćalović Marković pointed out that there are many reasons for holding extraordinary parliamentary elections, but she asked how they would be held without the Constitutional Court.

She said that the Evropa movement "damaged" both the DPS and the government in the local elections, and that the voters told the parties that they wanted the citizens to be the priority, not the quarrels between politicians.

"Whether it is economically good and sustainable that he conceived the Europe program now is one question, but another question is that the citizens got something concrete, after 30 years of general talk and two years of opposition arguments, the only thing they saw was the tangible issue of salary increases "And now you go to the elections, saying - vote for me to reduce your salary... It would be good if economic topics were an area where politicians would compete," said the executive director of MANS.

She emphasized that all institutions of the system have been completely "collapsed": "Not that they are questionable and controlled, as in the DPS period, now they are completely destroyed".

She asked, among other things, what happened in the last two years with the reforms of "any lever of power of the DPS", including the National Security Agency.

"If they couldn't reform it, why didn't they shut it down and create a new ANB," she said.

She said that even in the new government, not everyone can explain where their property came from. "Even in the new government, there are individuals who keep their property in offshore destinations and take it to related parties".

Ćalović Marković said that the question should be answered as to what jobs Savo Kentera, the recent head of ANB, did during the period when he was in the non-governmental sector, so he needed, and was allowed by the state, to have access to secret data. "And with what secret data. That data had to do with the scope of his work in that NGO, and not just any secret data".
