The spokesman of the party Dobrilo Dedeic said that Andrija Mandic will continue his strike in the party premises inside the Montenegrin parliament, and will carry out his political activities relating to the coalition.

The parliamentary opposition has demanded the government to annul its decision on recognition of the unilaterally declared independence by Kosovo, which was rejected.

The opposition also demands a referendum to be called for citizens to express their opinion on the decision, or early parliamentary elections to be called.
