In an interview for Niksic TV, SNP leader Vladimir Jokovic, reacting to criticism over the party’s decision to enter into negotiations on forming a minority government, has said it is not a coalition with the DPS, nor is the Democratic Party of Socialists returning to power.
As he points out, the key principles that the SNP will stand for in the new government are the signing of the Fundamental Agreement, the census, and the correction of the voter list. When asked how to reach those decisions if they need the support of the Democratic Party of Socialists, he emphasizes:
“The government is to sign the Fundamental Agreement and the one who is not in the government is not in charge. We will not be part of the government that does not specify the deadlines for the implementation of these and other burning problems in Montenegro. Do you think that Vladimir Jokovic and the SNP, who fought against the DPS for more than two decades, now that they have been defeated, would say – come back? We can leave that government at any time if it does not meet our demands and goals. But you must know, the DPS does not have the strength to overthrow that government. Some other parties must vote for it. If the DPS overthrows us because of the Law on Lustration, let it be that way, it will show its real face”, Jokovic has stressed.
