The Parliament of Montenegro voted against the 42nd Government of Montenegro this evening at the proposal of the Citizens' Movement URA. 43 out of 54 present MPs voted for that initiative, the speaker of the parliament, Aleksa Bečić, announced this evening.
He said that 11 deputies spoke against the vote of no confidence in the government. Deputies of the Democratic Front (DF), the Socialist People's Party (SNP) and the Movement for Change (PzP) left the hall and did not attend the vote, which was conducted by roll call. Members of the URA Dritan Abazović and the Democratic Party of Socialists Milo Đikanović voted for a vote of no confidence in the Government of Zdravko Krivokapić.
Miloš Konatar said in front of the "Black on White" coalition that he wants a Montenegro where "even an Albanian" can be the prime minister. I dream of a Montenegro in which the Prime Minister, a national Albanian, will sign the Fundamental Agreement with the SPC, which is in the interest of the state of Montenegro, stressed Konatar in his closing speech before the declaration of the deputies.
Before the beginning of the session, Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić and most of the ministers left the parliamentary hall, and only the Minister of Capital Investments, Mladen Bojanić, attended the debate.
The proposal for a vote of no confidence in Krivokapić's cabinet was explained by URA deputy Miloš Konatar, who said that he did not believe that neither the prime minister nor the ministers, except for minister Bojanić, would be in the hall during the discussion. "Their relationship is one of the reasons we're talking about this." We are talking about a decision that is difficult. Difficult times and political crisis required us to make difficult decisions. We are ready to take responsibility for this decision," Konatar said.
He added that "there is no decision that is difficult enough when it comes to the interests of the citizens of Montenegro", and that from the beginning this government has been functioning as a minority and that it often happened that they could not even reach 41 votes of support in the Parliament, let alone 49 for important decisions and the selection of key people in the judiciary.
The start of today's session was delayed by almost four hours due to the session of the Committee for Political System, Judiciary and Administration.
