The information about his resignation from party positions, especially since it has been speculated for a long time that Milatović's relationship with Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is not the best, was reported by all the media in the region.
Comparisons with the conflict of the 90s of the last century, which broke out between then party comrades Milo Đukanović and Momir Bulatović, are current on social networks.
Experts estimate, on the other hand, that this small political earthquake will not greatly affect relations in the Government.
Milatović informed the public about his resignation through an account on the X network.
He said that PES will remain an important part of his life, because together they wrote the history of democratic changes in the country.
A long-standing intention
From the "Europe Now Movement" they said that Milatović's intention to obstruct the work of the Government of Montenegro and the Movement has been noticeable for a long time, which culminated in his leaving the party.
They assessed that "it is good that he realized that it is time to leave the "Europe Now Movement", so that society would not suffer because of personal dissatisfaction."
In the announcement, they also told Milatović that for the sake of Montenegro, "it is important for him to maintain what he said in his resignation, which is to finally start working in the interest of the citizens instead of personal promotion".
From the strongest opposition Democratic Party of Socialists, Milatović's resignation was linked to his advocating that the forces of the pro-Russian Democratic Front enter power.
"An expected scenario. Milatović fulfilled his main obligation when he lobbied for the Democratic Front to enter power and for Andrija Mandić to become the President of the Assembly. There he ended his mission in the "Europe Now Movement". And now he has a new one," wrote Andrija Nikolić from the Democratic Party of Socialists on the X network.
Greater transparency
Lawyer and human rights expert Milan Antonijević told RTCG that this decision by Milatović can only lead to even greater transparency in Montenegrin political heaven.
"I don't see that this will affect relations in the government, it can only lead to transparency," Antonijević told RTCG.
Antonijević says that this is part of the political culture of Montenegro, which shows great political maturity.
Two leaders, one movement
Longtime journalist and analyst Predrag Zečević compared Spajić and Milatović with Đukanović and Bulatović. He states, on the other hand, that it took a full seven years for the quarrel in the 90s, and in PES everything was "cleaned up" in just one year.
Furthermore, Zečević states that in the political history of Montenegro, one party with two leaders has never lasted long.
