One of the leaders of the Democratic Front (DF), Milan Knezevic, told reporters after the meeting between the prime minister and leaders of the ruling majority parties that Krivokapic accused Abazovic and Minister Vladimir Leposavic of overturning his government.
“He said he had information about him,” told reporters after the meeting, noting Krivokapic had indirectly accused them, Abazovic and Leposavic, that they were behind the plot to overthrow the government.
“Krivokapic referred to my photo and post at Tateter from January 4th, when I spoke to Abazovic about the possibility of overcoming the crisis in the Montenegrin judiciary and said he had much information about the plot,” said Knezevic.
According to him, the prime minister refused to present the information he had received, but acknowledged that he had met with Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic earlier today, but did not want to talk about the meeting.
When I asked him what he talked to him about, we entered a verbal discussion, after which the prime minister left the meeting --” said Knezevic, one of the leaders of the pro-Serbian ruling majority in Montenegro.
Krivokapiić later explained that he had talked with APUanović at a session of the Defence and Security Council and that he had no secret meetings with the president of Montenegro.
The crisis within the ruling majority, which brought down Milo Djukanovic's Democratic Party of Socialists in a narrow victory in the August 2020 parliamentary elections, began when Prime Minister Krivokapic decided to lift Justice and Human Rights Minister Vladimir Leposavic, who denied Srebrenica's genocide in a public speech yes in Srebrenica, as well as the decisions of international courts in connection with it.
Leposavic refused to resign, so his departure should be discussed in the Montenegrin parliament, in which the majority of the ruling coalition does not want to support the prime minister's decision and lift the justice minister.
