Former interior minister Andrija Jovicevic has given up running in the upcoming presidential elections, Democratic Front (DF) announced, confirming an earlier CdM’s report.
“The DF Presidency informs the public that it has reached an agreement with Andrija Jovicevic to give up the candidacy for the president of Montenegro for the sake of the historic importance of unifying entire the opposition around a non-party candidate. In this way, we once again demonstrate the responsibility that all relevant opposition subjects should show today. Personal and party interests should be subordinated to the majority of Montenegrin citizens who are seeking a change of government. The upcoming presidential elections are a real opportunity for that,” DF stated.
This political alliance points out that the public is aware that DF did not propose a party candidate, and since March 2017, it has been advocating that entire opposition should support a non-party candidate.
It calls the rest of opposition once again to give up plans to nominate several candidates and to make a deal on a common non-party candidate.
According to the alliance, it is very important to emphasise the fact that at this moment there is not time pressure for the opposition, because its political opponents (DPS) has not announced its presidential candidate, expecting the opposition’s move.
