In his opening speech, Spaić said he has a "historic majority" in parliament, which is a guarantee that Montenegro will be stable and that the country will be able to focus on important topics such as integration, economy and social policy.
Deputies in the Montenegrin parliament today supported the new Montenegrin government of Prime Minister Milojko Spajic, in which five ministerial posts went to the Bosniak party and three to the pro-Serbian coalition "For the Future of Montenegro".
Spaich's government has a prime minister and 30 members, 24 ministries and seven vice presidents, two of whom are also ministers.
In his opening speech, Spaić said he has a "historic majority" in parliament, which is a guarantee that Montenegro will be stable and that the country will be able to focus on important topics such as integration, economy and social policy.
"Today, Montenegro is the most reconciled in its history. Every sacrifice was appropriate, and this majority is a guarantee of stability and success. We are becoming an example of common life and work in the region," said the Montenegrin Prime Minister. Spajić called on the opposition to be constructive, stressing that the next three and a half years are crucial for Montenegro's European integration, but also for economic reforms.
The president of the opposition Democratic Party of Socialists, Daniel Zivkovic, said the government reshuffle was an attempt to save the Europe Now movement and Spajic himself, who according to recent polls has the support of 15 percent.
"The price of this reconstruction is a sale of the national interests of Montenegro, Zivković said, adding that it is pointless to talk about restoring the government with Mandić and Milan Knežević.
"These are people who claim that Montenegro is not a country," Zivkovic added.
Croatian Citizens' Initiative (HGI) representative Adrian Vuksanovic said that everything that has happened in the past year confirms that his party did the right thing when it rejected the offer to join Spajic's government. He recalled that the executive power worsened relations with the neighbors. | BGNES
