Will there be a camp in Podgorica?
A representative of the opposition Democratic Front on December 22 announced a new anti-government protest that took place on December 23 at 18:00 in Podgorica and said that if their demands for forming a transitional government and creating conditions for democratic elections were not met, they would install tents in front of the parliament building.
The secretary for municipal issues of the Main City of Podgorica, Marco Rakochevich, told the representatives of the Democratic Front that they will not be allowed to put tents in front of the Montenegrin parliament. He considers the demands of the protesters to be absolutely unreasonable and not having legal grounds.
Rakochevich said that the Front can get approval from the police for organizing a public meeting, but this does not mean the possibility of setting up a campground. "We need to understand that our legislation does not recognize a tent camp as a form of public protest. If the tents are installed, they will be removed, as before. It is necessary to observe public order and safety in accordance with the law. Every performance will be sanctioned because it is our duty, "Rakochevich said on RTCG.
Rakochevich also explained that the claims of the organizers of the protest to the MUP on the resolution of the meetings can not be the basis for installing tents on the carriageway, specifically on the Boulevard of St. Peter Cetinsky, before the parliament. He recalled that the public meeting approved in the Municipal Office has a time frame.
Recall tent camp of protesters was equipped on the Boulevard Petr Cetinsky in late September early November this year and was later dispersed by the police. This caused resentment of protesters, another mass anti-government speech, which was also severely suppressed by Montenegrin law enforcers.
