Parliament Speaker Andrija Mandić wants to extinguish any possibility of reaching an agreement, DPS MP Andrija Nikolić announced at a press conference.

"As you have been informed, the Collegium session has ended, Mandić has imposed a measure of expulsion from the session on the opposition.

The parliamentary majority will be responsible for everything that happens next. We had the good will to come forward with our proposals. Today it was sad to see representatives of the parliamentary majority listening to the announcement of measures with their heads bowed," Nikolić told the press.

Today, one can sense what Andrija Mandić will do, he is more of a police colleague than a journalist and MP, said Miloš Konatar (URA).

"All responsibility lies with the parliamentary majority, I cannot forget the bowed heads of the PES and Democrats representatives, while Mandić is doing what he is doing. Today we have reached a semi-warlike state in the Parliament.

I want to reassure the members of the UP that there is no need to defend the Parliament from the MPs," said Konatar, adding that Mandić, with the parliamentary majority, has given up on pursuing an agreement.

"The political crisis will only deepen and Mandić is responsible for that, and then Milojko Spajić," said Konatar.

Adrijan Vuksanović (HGI) said that Mandić is the creator of the destruction.

"We have been actively working all these days and looking for a solution, and when we were on the verge of reaching an agreement, we heard that we are returning to destruction. Milojko Spajić, Mandić shot at the possibility of an agreement today," said Vuksanović, adding that the responsibility lies with Mandić.

Boris Mugoša (SD) said that there were different options whether to accept the Collegium or not.

"Mandić informed us at nine last night that we were continuing the Collegium session today. We could have said that we did not want to attend, but that would have been their argument that we were destructive. We should have talked about continuing the Collegium session in order to get out of the crisis. When they heard that, they knew that they would have no arguments to do what they were doing and they did not want an agreement to be reached. The essence of their policy is the European narrative and anti-European practice.

The majority blindly follows what Mandić says. And what he wrote today is shameful. I call on representatives of minority nations and the PES to think about what this is leading to. This is our workplace, I call on them to be careful how they will treat us. They will not kick us out of this house," Mugoša said.

He says that Mandić's decisions do not bind them because they are unconstitutional.

Asked if he will enter the hall when the session begins, he says that he will not be guided by the interests of Andrija Mandić.

"We have a responsibility to the people who elected us and we will persist in that. This is not a European Montenegro. Their goal is to collapse everything that can be collapsed," Mugoša said.

We will see what the opposition will do, the measures were imposed by the one who has the least right to do so, Andrija Nikolić added.

Do not think that this Collegium was accidentally scheduled and the session of the Parliament of Montenegro is also scheduled to begin in Budva, Nikolić emphasized.

"The opposition MPs cannot be prevented from being present when the voting begins. There will be a meeting of the opposition with the ambassadors of the Quinte at 3 p.m.," Nikolić said.
