At the parliamentary rostrum, within the Prime Minister's hour, the first man in the government, Milojko Spajić, appeared only seven times, although 13 sessions were supposed to be held.
Spajić's international commitments and the opposition's blockade are just some of the reasons why the Prime Minister's Hour sessions were not held. This could be the fate of the session scheduled for June 27, the same day that Minister of European Affairs Maida Gorčević announced the holding of the Intergovernmental Conference with the European Union in Brussels.
We were not told during the day whether the Prime Minister would appear from the cabinet. That's why we asked artificial intelligence, just as Spajić did on several occasions when answering questions from MPs.
And to our question Chat GPT answered as follows:
"The Prime Minister of Montenegro, Milojko Spajić, did not attend the previous sessions of the Prime Minister's Hour for various reasons, including official visits and previously published answers to parliamentary questions. Given the previous circumstances and his attitude towards those sessions, it is not possible to predict with certainty whether Prime Minister Spajić will attend the Prime Minister's Hour scheduled for June 27."
The opposition claims that this date was proposed by Spajić's Europe Now Movement after consultations with the Government.
"In general, this is an indicator of the relationship between the parliamentary majority, the members of the parliamentary majority, the Prime Minister, and the government ministers towards the Parliament of Montenegro. So, yesterday we had the opportunity to see that the Minister of Finance answered the parliamentary questions that we asked on March 25th, and he answered them on June 19th, so nothing new on the western front," said Miloš Konatar from the Civic Party URA.
We were unable to get a comment from PES MPs regarding the prime minister's watch, but the ruling SNP still believes that the prime minister will soon appear before MPs.
"The fact is that the Parliament elected the government and that such a relationship must and should be nurtured. The Prime Minister's Hour session is scheduled for June 27th, I have important activities in the pipeline that are truly in favor of our European path and from that perspective, they may be a reason for another postponement, but I want to believe that as soon as possible, if that postponement occurs, the Prime Minister will appear in the Parliament of Montenegro," stressed Slađana Kaluđerović from the SNP.
However, the civilian sector has no dilemma - that the Government is showing disrespect towards the Parliament, and another possible postponement of the Prime Minister's Office would only confirm this practice.
"What can we say about a man who did not want to read or deliver his statement during the election for the prime minister of the country. He does not know and does not feel the importance of parliament as an institution. He has a commanding majority there that allows him to behave in this way. And in any country, such disrespect for parliament would be a first-class scandal," believes Dragan Koprivica from the Center for Democratic Transition.
Spajić last appeared before MPs at the end of March, and the parliamentary rules of procedure stipulate that the Prime Minister's Hour is held once a month during the regular, autumn and spring sessions.
