Montenegro's Assembly Turns Back Djukanovic Initiative for Cutting Parliament's Term

Djukanovic asked that the extraordinary parliamentary session be initiated to discuss cutting parliamentary mandate and calling for extraordinary parliamentary elections, Montenegrin media reported.

Djurovic argued that Djukanovic in his initiative made procedural mistakes, and, as he said, the president failed to submit the proposal for the decision which would have to be voted on.
Montenegro's president proposed days ago that the Parliament be dissolved and new parliamentary elections announced, because, as he said, this is the only way out of the political crisis.

On the other hand, the pro-Serbian bloc of the old parliamentary majority has handed in 41 signatures for the dismissal of Milo Djukanovic from the post of president of the country, though for that, consensus is needed from 2/3 of Montenegrin MPs. Montenegro's Assembly has 81 deputies.

The old majority has reached reconciliation for regrouping the new government, and the mandater has been named Miodrag Lekic.

The sovereign parties insist that there should be no further experimentation with the election outcome of August 20, 2020, because these results have produced two short-lived governments, and that a new government should be legitimised only through new elections.

Former Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapic overturned the resolution for voting to condemn the denial of Srebrenica genocide, while Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic broke the Constitutional Agreement with the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Montenegro is currently with technical government.
