By refusing the invitation to sign the criminal complaint against the President of the Assembly Andrija Mandić for displaying the tricolor in his cabinet, the Bosniak party got a ticket for the reformed government of Milojko Spajić, Social Democrats (SD) MP Nikola Zirojević said for Pobjeda.
On February 16, representatives of the Democratic Party of Socialists, the Social Democrats, the Croatian Citizens' Initiative and the Democratic Union of Albanians filed a criminal complaint against Mandić on suspicion that, by displaying the national flag of Serbia, he abused his official position.
The invitation to join this initiative was also sent to the Bosniak party, but they refused to do so, not publicly stating the reasons for that decision.
TACTIZATION
Zirojević told Pobjeda that at the beginning the decision of BS was surprising, but that things crystallized after the statement of Prime Minister Milojko Spajić that the party is welcome in the Government and that he sees it as a partner involved in all decision-making levers.
With the agreement of the current parliamentary majority, a reconstruction was agreed, which foresees that the Democratic People's Party of Milan Knežević and the New Serbian Democracy of Andrija Mandić will soon get seats in the government, but Spajić left the "door open" for other political subjects as well, and above all he emphasizes BS.
The decision of the Bosniak Party, before we filed the criminal complaint, was surprising for us, given that it is about our traditional partners and a political entity that strongly criticized the introduction of the tricolor in the cabinet of the President of the Assembly. We fully expected that the Bosniak Party would sign the criminal complaint that we filed against the President of the Assembly without much thought, overvoting, deliberation. However, that did not happen and it quickly became clear why it was so - said Zirojević for our newspaper.
He notes that stories about negotiations and talks are published every day and that the Bosniak Party is interested in joining the Government, but that everything is happening behind the scenes of the public.
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT
However, very soon we had a positive signal from Prime Minister Milojko Spajić when talking about the entry of BS into power. Then there was a never faster reaction from BS, where they also evaluated Spajić's attitude as encouraging and expressed their readiness to enter the Government with the same Andrija Mandić, for whom they expressed the same views years ago and in the previous three years, with the same to people who do not recognize the existence of genocide in Srebrenica, who glorify war criminals and some of whom now say that Bosniaks are a non-existent people. Although, bearing in mind the statements from the period of entry into the so-called the minority government that Srebrenica should not be a stumbling block for us, this is not surprising in a way - emphasizes Zirojević.
As he says, it will be interesting to watch the unfolding of events on the political scene in Montenegro.
It seems that BS's non-signing of the criminal complaint against Mandić was in some way the gateway to the expanded, reformed Government of Milojko Spajić. We also see that the New Serbian Democracy and the DNP are enthusiastic about this idea. They look at it positively, it remains to be seen whether the Democrats will eventually break and whether they will support the entry of the Bosniak Party into the Government or whether they will remain of the position that they have no place in the executive branch, given that they are not signatories to the agreement - he concluded Zirojevic.
Ibrahimović called for respect for the law
Zirojević reminded that the president of BS Ervin Ibrahimović, during the discussion at the plenum at the beginning of this year, stated that the president of the Assembly Andrija Mandić broke the law by displaying the flag of another country in the cabinet.
Ibrahimović then said that the tricolor had no place in the Assembly and called on Mandić to respect the law.
How much did you help the European story of Montenegro and reconciliation today when you kept silent about the display of this flag? Let's not let flags divide citizens - said Ibrahimović on January 20 from the parliamentary majority to the parliamentary majority.
