Alarmed the leaders of the Front: Krivokapić with Đukanović
Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic said that he had a consultative meeting with Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapic and Parliament Speaker Aleks Becic on Monday regarding the preparation of the next session of the National Security Council.
– Of course, we also touched on political topics and concluded that there are many issues that we must quickly put on the agenda and try to find some opportunities for cooperation that will contribute to removing at least part of the uncertainty that burdens the Montenegrin reality today – said Djukanovic on RTCG.
Djukanovic characterized the assessments of Prime Minister Krivokapic and Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic that he personally destabilizes Montenegro as a lack of ability to realistically see the reasons for the political processes taking place in Montenegro, or a clumsy attempt to replace theses.
– I really do not want to believe that the incompetence of the Government in the sphere of politics is so great that they do not see what is obvious – said Djukanovic.
He added that the policies of the new government produced dissatisfaction among people who took to the streets “without anyone’s call”.
– The protests would look much more powerful and would be more organized if they were organized by the Democratic Party of Socialists – Djukanovic is convinced.
“The policy of the new government strikes at the fundamental values of Montenegro”
Djukanovic estimated that the largest number of people in Montenegro were surprised by the speed of changes that took place in the country during the previous year.
He said that until then, the EU and Western partners had recognized Montenegro as a partner, and since mid-August 2020, they have described it as a potential hotbed and source of instability in the Western Balkans.
Djukanovic, however, does not think that the problem is only in the change of government.
– This instability was produced by the policy of the new government, which hit the fundamental value of modern Montenegro and endangered its character as a civil and secular state – he said.
Djukanovic believes that the trust of NATO partners in Montenegro has also been shaken and that the new government has experienced serious objections from the EU and the Venice Commission.
Despite the fact that, as he claims, today’s assessment of the security situation in Montenegro is more unfavorable than a year ago, Djukanovic believes that there are grounds for Montenegro to preserve stability.
