Opposition’s desire to run the state without previously held elections is unreal and unfeasible, the Montenegrin parliament speaker, Ivan Brajović, told in an interview with Pobjeda, a daily.
“MPs from the opposition parties – DF, SDP, SNP – Demos and those belonging to the Specific Parliamentary Club – mostly participate in the work of the plenum and other domestic and international activities of the Parliament. The Democrats and part of URA are not involved at all if we don’t count that they still get salaries, use the parliamentary premises and other logistical support,” noted Mr Brajović.
According to him, the opposition’s involvement in the work of the Parliament generally contributes to the quality of discussions despite inappropriate parliamentary communication.
When it comes to the international support, he emphasized that he has established regular communication with the in-country and international officials at several levels and never heard of any other expectation but the one saying that the political views of citizens’ representatives should be expressed in a parliament, while the will of voters should be expressed only via election.
As for the protests in Podgorica, Belgrade and Tirana, they all have one thing in common – a political not social connotation.
“This doesn’t mean the entirely negative connotation but it’s important to identify things and use right words to describe them,” Mr Brajović was adamant.
