Vice-President and MP of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Ivan Vuković said that it is clear that as much as Montenegro has the support of our European partners to become part of the European Union, the current government in Montenegro does not have the support to bring this job to an end.
"Mandić is a stone around the neck of European Montenegro. Since the reconstruction of the Government, the majority cannot introduce Montenegro into the EU," said Vuković.
Vuković reminded that Mandić's official visit to the President of the European Parliament Roberta Mecola was canceled yesterday.
"While he was on his way to Brussels, Mandić received a message that he was not welcome in Brussels. As if that humiliation was not enough for him, he invented Mecola's private obligations, although she had already had meetings since this morning. Then he begged for a phone call," says Vuković.
When asked whether he sees the transfer of the Tivat Cultural Center to Croatia as a move to "pay for mistakes" from the past with state property, and whether Montenegro agrees to so-called "blackmail" for the sake of its European path, he replies that he sees it as another in a series of examples of the government's "political dilettancy".
"What happened yesterday tells you about how they perceive international relations and how they understand their role in improving relations with neighbors. It happened that the parliament adopted a resolution that the prime minister himself said would harm state and national interests. And now that we as a state are potentially facing these consequences, the government is trying to play a gambler's game to appease official Zagreb. We as a state, and all of us who have been doing everything we can for years for Montenegro to join the EU, could suffer the first consequence in a few days," said Vuković.
