Kažanegra Stanišić said that the story about the rehabilitation of DPS will not be actualized.

"The DPS has not reformed. This was shown by the celebration, where they beat their fists, sang 'nobody can do anything to us, we are stronger than Serbia' and admired the master", said Kažanegra Stanišić.

Tadić Mijović said that the best things about watermelons were said before and now by the citizens.

"There were a lot of people who abstained in the elections. I think that this should be a signal especially to the new authorities that they need to turn the corner and start dealing with key things for the future of this country," said Tadić Mijović.

Kažanegra Stanišić said that Democratic Montenegro does not bring the influence of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, and that she is not afraid of influence from Serbia.

She said that she could not influence what Vučić would say.

"And he declares all kinds of things and behaves quite strangely," said Kažanegra Stanišić.

She said that the Serbian language was discriminated against when the Constitution was adopted in 2007.

"I don't see a reason why it was not recognized as an official language in this country at the time. If there were to be a discussion about making the Serbian language official in Montenegro, we would support such an initiative. Let's not forget that Article 157 of the Constitution of Montenegro states that this possibility can can only happen if such a decision is made by a three-thirds majority, which is an almost impossible event, because it would mean that 80 percent of the population would come out and vote. And whether an injustice was done, it is," said Kažanegra Stanišić.

Dizdarević said that whoever wins the largest number of votes should invite potential partners for the formation of local government.

"The Podgorica elections show that 45 percent of the support for the current government was given in these elections. They are completely delegitimized to perform functions in the executive power and at the local level in the capital. They appeared with the platform that it was a referendum on the work of the government. You heard Mr. Mujović who persistently repeated that in Podgorica the citizens do not decide only for the city government, but it is a test for the work of the current 44th government," said Dizdarević.

He said that the subjects who spoke from the platform of the opposition, saying that they were talking about the Civic Movement URA, its leader Dritan Abazović and the President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović, should be the first to sit down and talk.

Dizdarević said that the holder of the DPS list in the local elections in Podgorica, Nermin Abdić, received the legitimacy to govern the capital.

The show aired what the president of the Citizens' Movement URA, Dritan Abazović, said in the previous show Načisto on the subject of potential cooperation with DPS or government constituents.

21h AM

Dizdarević said that there are certain political reasons why they claim that the chief special prosecutor, Vladimir Novović, is "the worst prosecutor".

"Is there any other type of crime in Montenegro besides that which is recruited through sky correspondence? We filed dozens of criminal charges against Novović and none of them received their legal epilogue," he said.

Dizdarević said that the current Minister of Health, Vojislav Šimun, submitted the case regarding the abuse of official position in the company Montefarm.

"Is there any legal epilogue?" Dizdarević said and added that everything points to the suspicion that the prosecution is selective.

He said that organized crime and legacy is something that follows European countries.

Dizdarević said that despite the fact that the Czech Republic has been a member of the European Union since 1999, that country talks about the continuous fight against crime and corruption.

Tadić Mijović said that there was no crime anywhere like in Montenegro, at the top of the state, the police, the judiciary.

Dizdraević said that there is crime in Italy and the Netherlands.

Tadić Mijović told him what the differences are between the countries he mentioned and Montenegro.

"The difference between them and us is that they do not have a state prosecutor like Mrs. Medenica suspected of very serious criminal acts. They do not have the vice president of the ruling party, Mr. Marović, the head of an organized crime group. They are not the key police officers who were supposed to fight against organized crime organized crime," said Tadić Mijović.

She told Dizdarevic that if DPS wants to become a serious factor again, it must face its own past.

"Now you are closing our eyes as you told us that you had nothing to do with Dubrovnik, war crimes. Now you are telling us that it is the same as it was in the Czech Republic, Poland, Italy," said Tadić Mijović.

Dizdarević said he was talking about the phenomenon, while Tadić Mijović said she was not.

"You have created a mafia state," she said.

Dizdarević said that these were serious accusations, and Tadić Mijović told him that these were not her accusations, but those of the most serious and respected world magazines, such as Forina Afers, which in 2012 spoke about Montenegro and ten other countries as mafia countries.

"You did it and you left us a difficult legacy. It would be good if you too face your own past and we ourselves face all these plagues in order to become a normal society. Unfortunately, the new political elite clearly has no priorities in not looking like nothing but your practice instead of reforming this society. I often wonder if we will be able to do it ourselves. What we are facing is a heavy burden and the political actors are too frivolous to deal with that burden," said Tadić Mijović.

21h AM

Tadić Mijović said that the former president of Montenegro and DPS Milo Đukanović left behind a captive state, ties to crime, and a catastrophic economic situation.

"He broke up the entire society, we had a small group of oligarchs, rich people and complete poverty without a middle class, a completely collapsed education system," said Tadić mijović.

21h AM

Dizdarević said that the trends leading their policy lead to the return of the DPS policy as the only stable policy at the moment.

He said that DPS is still used as a kind of scarecrow in the narrative.

"New people have taken over the DPS, what we will work on in the future is a true meritocracy. Not the one promised to us by the current ruling majority," said Dizdarević.

He said that former chief special prosecutor Milivoj Katnić and former high-ranking police official Zoran Lazović were defended by the principle of the rule of law that no one is guilty until proven otherwise.

20h AM

When asked how she was state secretary at the Ministry of Culture and Media, then overnight became a security expert and became state secretary at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kažanegra Stanišić said that she did not present herself as an expert and thus became state secretary.

"The position of state secretary and minister are political appointments and I see no reason why I would have to be an expert in that field," she said.

20h AM

Tadić Mijović said that public administration is only growing like a balloon.

"Unfortunately, this is a characteristic of the 42nd, 43rd, and 44th Governments. As whoever comes, they place their soldiers in their public companies as if they were prey, as if it is not something that belongs to all of us. We have seen that public companies are networked by the parties in power It is all seen as their property, which is unfortunately the property of DPS, which left us with such a management system. The new authorities have done nothing to introduce the meritocracy system that they promised us. We are paying more than we are paid in 150," she said.

Tadić Mijović said that she does not see that the political elite leading the country have serious intentions to transform the country into a functional democracy and that their key power, their position, is to take as many votes as possible and the spoils they are fighting for, but not to change the country.

20h AM

Kažanegra Stanišić said that DPS in a certain way went into the past in 2020, but that this is not a Government of continuity but of discontinuity.

She said that citizens sent a message through the census that Montenegro is a civil state.

She said that citizens are not fleeing Montenegro because of the 44th Government, but because of the decades of destruction of the state and the value system.

20h AM

When asked what DPS should do to become a legitimate participant in government, Tadić Mijović said that the defeat of the ruling majority and those who came after August 2020 is the result of DPS.

"DPS gets more votes from election cycle to election cycle. This tells us where the country is now and what we got from the new political elite," she said.

She said that the new political elite has divided the citizens even more and that the ruling majority is increasingly pushing the issues that divide us, as in the past DPS.

She said that the Population Census showed that half of Montenegro had left, that we were left without human potential and material.

"Why did these people leave in the last four years? Because they have no chance if they are not party soldiers. We did not get a government that treats the state and interests responsibly, but a government that divides and divides us instead of bringing us together," said Tadić Mijović, adding that it also applies to Democrats.

20h AM

Dizdarević said that the DPS was committed to itself and that they did not input to anyone from the ruling structure the need for them to reform.

He said that the elections show that the strength of the DPS exists, is growing and that it legitimizes the newly elected leadership of the party.

He said that DPS has returned to direct communication and direct meetings with citizens.

Dizdarević, when asked what are the most harmful things for society and that they are the product of decades of activity of the DPS, said that the wrong social policy was conducted.

"Citizens deserve to have higher salaries and pensions by 2020. To work on creating a social card and that will be the subject of our future activities through congressional documents and a political platform that we will offer to citizens. To take more care of social categories and what which is the economic progress of society. We will talk about the disparity of some compensations that were unjustifiably given to the members of the management boards of the company's directors," said Dizdarević.

20h AM

Kažanegra Stanišić said that the time has not yet come for the DPS to be considered as an actor and participant in the formation of government at either the local or state level, for the reason that so far we have not seen any evidence that the party has reformed in any sense, except perhaps cosmetic.

"We see some new young faces who serve as a bulwark, as a shield for those people who have not given up. whose actions they have not condemned, and the consequences that resulted from their actions have not been pointed out. The moment when at least an apology is heard for all that "has happened for three decades when any official comes forward publicly and condemns the behavior of his party comrades and predecessors and points to negative actions and consequences," she said.

Dizdarević said that five years was enough for the perception we have in the public today.

"I think that the citizens will best assess whether our policy at this moment is satisfactory for their needs. The citizens perceive the political reality better than the political elites who lead the current government," said Dizdarević.

He said that the politics and narrative of aversion to the DPS is no longer valid.

"We are not here to be a participant in the government for the sake of positions and armchairs," said Dizdarević.

Tadić Mijović said that DPS is a reality and that the party is much stronger "than we all expected".

"If the key issue here is protection, the DPS is so strong. When we saw all these four or five years, how that system captured, criminalized the state. The DPS is strong because those who took over the power are too weak. They don't take so much care about the public interest, they are too similar to the DPS. Among them, there are those who are connected to the criminal circles. The institutions are weak, the state enterprises are considered to be divided between the parties has not come to grips with the key reforms. There is no justice yet," said Tadić Mijović.
