Anti-government rally in Montenegro
Yesterday in Podgorica, supporters of the opposition went to an anti-government protest. The rally was organized by the Montenegrin opposition Alliance and the Democratic Front against the government and its key members on the eve of voting on a vote of confidence in the government.
The front called on opposition deputies to vote against Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic's cabinet, which he accused of corruption, undemocratic actions and falsification of elections.
The Right Alliance said that if the opposition MPs support the government on Monday, this will mean that they will vote against democracy, the vital interests of the state and against the will of citizens.
The leader of the opposition workers' party, Yanko Vucinic, also urged people gathered in front of the parliament building to vote "against" on the vote of confidence Djukanovic.
The demonstrators were given out green and red cards, so that they could show their voice during the rally.
The leader of the Nova pro-Serb party, Andria Mandic, stated: Citizens of Montenegro should change this situation. We should not just be obedient followers.
The opposition said that if Djukanovic loses on Monday, she will suspend her protest campaign launched in September last year, announce victory and invite other opposition parties to negotiate the creation of the Provisional Government.
Recall that Djukanovic urged the parliament to accept a vote of confidence in his government December 19, 2015.
The prime minister, who was president and prime minister, since 1991, accused the opposition of trying to block the country from joining NATO, also stating that Russia is behind these protests.
Montenegro has a large Serb community, which has traditionally close ties with Russia, which strongly opposes the expansion of the alliance to the east.
In recent months, the opposition has called Djukanovic to resign. The protest movement reached an open clash of police forces with demonstrators demanding re-elections.
Djukanovic's cabinet, meanwhile, loses its majority in parliament due to lack of unity among the ruling bloc - the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), which does not share the views of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The protesters have already stated that they will not vote in favor of Prime Minister Djukanovic, who needs a new ally among the sharply-minded opposition to get the majority.
If the prime minister can not provide such support in the parliament, he will have to appoint general early elections.
