"Everything will end with the government on February 4, when the no-confidence vote will be taken. If they think the changes contribute to the situation, there is no problem for me. "But if anyone touches the constitutional order, especially the security order, provokes unrest in Montenegro or erupts nationalism, he will get the right answer without delay."
The Prime Minister of Montenegro has requested the reduction of the mandate of the Assembly, in order to pave the way for the announcement of early parliamentary elections, while on February 3, a vote will be held for the dismissal of Dritan Abazovic.
