Protests are being held in Montenegro against the proposition of URA to dismiss the incumbent Prime Minister, Zdravko Krivokapić, and the 42nd Cabinet of Montenegro, along with the announced formation of a temporary minority government. Since most ministers of the cabinet are close to Krivokapić, most ministers supported or attended these protests, including Vesna Bratić, Jakov Milatović and Milojko Spajić. The protests are being held in multiple cities such as Podgorica, Bijelo Polje and Berane. Although they are mostly peaceful, there have been incidents at the protests, such as the assault of a reporter of RTCG, the state media of Montenegro.[1]
Causes
The protests started as a response to the proposition of the United Reform Action (URA) and some other parties and political leaders to dismiss the current government and Prime Minister. The reason for these propositions is that Krivokapić outright refused to dismiss some of his ministers, such as Bratić, after a majority of parliament voted to dismiss them[2] because of “not doing their jobs correctly” or being outed as extremists.[3] The protests were composed of mostly conservatives and supporters of the Serbian Orthodox Church which has a significant influence in the Krivokapić government, as most of the ministers are close to it.[4]
Symbolism and slogans
Symbolism
Unlike most of the protests in Montenegro in the last few years, these protests are mostly secular. However, a lot of Serbian Orthodox Church flags and symbolism can be seen at the protests, along with the Montenegrin tricolour, which was a partly official Flag of Montenegro from 1905 to 1918. The flag is today used as a symbol of Serb politics in Montenegro. Along with historical flags, parody Euro bills were printed with figures such as Abazović, Joković and Đukanović on them.
Slogans
Slogans used include chants like “Traitor!”, and sayings like “You took the money, Dritan!” (Template:Lang-cnr)[5], referring to a claim that Abazović took a bribe of 21,000,000€, even though this claim turned out to be false.
izdaja.me
An anonymous website was launched at https://izdaja.me that showed certain members of the Parliament of Montenegro that agreed to dismiss Krivokapić’s government, with captions such as “Sold! Betrayal!” (Template:Lang-cnr).[6]
