Krivokapic does not have the unique support of members of the coalition "For the Future of Montenegro"
The Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, Amfilohije, hosted today at the Monastery Ostrog, the list holders and political leaders of the previous opposition parties, TV Vijesti reported. The meeting intended to bring closer the positions on the critical issues of forming the new government ahead of the constitutive session of the Parliament of Montenegro, scheduled for tomorrow.
The meeting attended the holder of the electoral list "For the Future of Montenegro" Zdravko Krivokapic, the leader of the coalition "Black and White" Dritan Abazovic, Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral Amfilohije, Bishop of Budva-Niksic Joanikije, leader of the New Serbian Democracy Andrija Mandic, leader of the Democratic People's Party Milan Knežević, President of the Socialist People's Party Vladimir Jokovic, Democrats officials Boris Bogdanovic and Momo Koprivica and URA official Zoran Mikic.
The leader of the Civic Movement URA, Dritan Abazovic, proposed the holder of the list "For the Future of Montenegro", Zdravko Krivokapic, as the prime minister-designate of the new government, "Vijesti" writes. The proposal was not supported by the leaders of one of Krivokapic's coalition - Democratic Front.
The meeting aimed to harmonize positions on the new President of the Assembly and the prime minister-designate to form the new government.
The head of the parliament's position should belong to the Democrats. It was proposed that the deputies of the new majority, 41 of them, sign that Krivokapic is the prime minister, after which he would hold meetings with all parties and start forming governments. According to "Vijesti", when it seemed to most of the participants that everything had been agreed, one of the DF leaders said that Krivokapić did not have the full support and had to pass a review of trust in the coalition.
It was also announced at the meeting that the "Black and White" coalition or the experts they propose are expected to control the security sector (Ministry of Defense, police, and the National Security Agency), according to the international community's expectation.
