I think I was very clear from the beginning.

As you know, after the historic victory in the presidential elections, I did not participate in the election campaign for the parliamentary elections, nor did I decide on the business list of the movement Europe Now.

You know that I am principled in that sense.

I think I have shown a new, different level of political culture in the country, which I believe is necessary, especially to discuss it and move on to the work.

I gave a mandate in the shortest possible time, I carried out a transparent, inclusive, for the first time, formal consultation process and gave a mandate to the mandatee for the composition of the 44th government in the period that was shorter than the constitution.

I understand that, as far as I can see from the media, there is a certain disagreement with the mandatee's proposal in the part of the government's proposal that he also communicated to the MPs and MPs from the European Council's election list.

I said a few days ago that the biggest responsibility now is on the mandator, the biggest responsibility is of course on the other political parties that are currently participating in the consultations on the formation of the government.

I think that Montenegro finally needs a politically stable government.

It seems to me that right after the historic victory in the presidential elections, that things should have gone in that direction.

Whether they go, let the citizens decide best.

As I said, it seems to me that the process so far has been, as far as the citizens see, not transparent enough, in some cases not inclusive enough, that we have heard rather worrying messages that someone is interfering in that process, which you know is completely against the Constitution of Montenegro I believe that this is not accurate information, I want to believe it, because if it were accurate, it would not be good for the state of Montenegro, nor for the sovereignty we have as a state.

I repeat, I appeal to the mandators and other political entities involved in the negotiations I urge all the politicians and other political figures to make the process of negotiations more transparent and inclusive for the benefit of the citizens and citizens who have chosen them, so that the result of all this would be more stable.

As far as I can see from the that the situation is quite worrying.

I think that you cannot promote different opinions at once, and then, when there are dissatisfied teams, you have to go from word to action.

I completely believe in democratic capacities and the movement of Europe Now and the overall public society in Montenegro.

I appeal to the government to further consult and propose I appeal to the entire public to further consult and propose, to make the government transparent, inclusive and, in the end, which is very important, in accordance with the will of the citizens of Montenegro.

Let's wait and see how the situation will develop.

But it seems to me that the energy that existed after the great victory at the presidential elections, where the citizens clearly stated, in the historical legitimacy that was shown to me, how they want Montenegro to go, that this energy has now been quite broken and that in that sense the biggest responsibility is on those who have been leading the process.

You see, I, in the way I did after the great victory in Podgorica, called the constituents of the coalitions for the future of Montenegro, that is, Democrats and United, but also the URA movement, he showed what the citizens want, he showed a political vision and breadth, I think this has been further confirmed at the presidential elections through a historic great victory and it seems to me that it was a paved road, and whether someone will turn from that path at some point, the best citizens can estimate.
