(ANSA-AFP) - PODGORICA, FEB 5 - Montenegro's government was
set to be dissolved following a no-confidence vote late Friday
that sent the country's prime minister packing. The vote follows
months of building tensions in the Balkan nation where a
dysfunctional coalition government elected in 2020 has failed to
make any tangible progress in passing reforms since taking
power. "Things are not working. It is our responsibility to
offer a solution and move to a new stage of development for the
sake of the country's European future," said parliamentarian
Milos Konatar, a member of the ruling coalition, ahead of the
vote. Of the parliament's 81 members, 43 voted in favour of the
no-confidence motion, while 11 opposed the measure with the
remaining MPs abstaining. A day ahead of the motion, Prime
Minister Zdravko Krivokapic conceded that there was little
chance of surviving the vote, saying he would likely be forced
to step down. (ANSA-AFP).
