Thorny road to a new government: How to cope with negative emotions

FOTO: Pobjeda

President of Montenegro, Mr Milo Đukanović, announced he was going to propose a candidate for the next prime minister by 23 October. Mr Zdravko Krivokapić, the leader of the coalition For the Future of Montenegro is most likely to become it. All 41 MPs making up a new parliamentary majority in the Parliament of Montenegro agree that a university professor Krivokapić should run the government. However, it’s already obvious that the negotiations about the formation of a new government will be long and uncertain having in mind different views, programs and priorities of the ruling majority gathered around the three blocs – For the Future of Montenegro, Peace is Our Nation and Black on White.

Few days after winning a slender majority in the parliament, the public could witness the disagreements on who should be running the security departments in the government.

The Democratic Front, DF, believes they should be running the security sector in the country, as they won 27 seats in the elections, while the Black on White bloc, that is, the civic URA movement, headed by Mr Dritan Abazović, claims a new government should comprise experts and must not be run by those who provoke divisions by their actions and stir negative emotions in a number of citizens. The DF has understood that the URA movement clearly meant on Mr Andrija Mandić, Mr Milan Knežević, Mr Nebojša Medojević and Mr Marko Milačić.

On the other hand, the Movement for Changes, a party within the Democratic Front whose leader is Mr Medojević, has stated they are interested in specific positions in a new government that would enable the implementation of their program priorities.

“The Movement for Changes will demand only what belongs to it based on election results and the will of voters. We won’t impose any requirements and accept all staff proposals of our coalition partners. A new government should be formed as soon as possible, in a fair and human way,” the Movement for Changes told CdM.

Of the 27 seats in the parliament won by the bloc For the Future of Montenegro, the Movement for Changes controls five.

On Abazović’s statement that he has to preserve the national interests of Montenegro and cannot allow the Serbian politicians to run the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Security Agency and the Ministry of Justice, one of the leaders of the DF, Mr Milan Knežević, has noted that it’s his legitimate right.

“I guess the solution lies somewhere in between, but it’s why we need to talk,” claims Mr Knežević, but stated last week in the Parliament of Montenegro that a new government would not be set up by Mr Željko Ivanović and Vijesti who backed Mr Abazović’s Black on White bloc.

In addition, Mr Krivokapić announced that the negotiations on the formation of a new government would be lengthy and exhausting.

Montenegro and citizens of the country must be protected from extreme nationalists in disguise. They will tell to EU what EU wants to hear, but their actions and intentions are all for their ultimate goal: Forcefully unite all countries in region where there are Serbs under one theocratic country. And ethnically pure.
