Our priority is to preserve at least some political stability. The risk of the collapse of the federal government if the issue hits the agenda is too big,

We are not in a situation where we have to form a federal government at all costs and there is no reason why we should give in to blackmail.

Without democratic Serbia and with Milosevic in power there could be no stability in Montenegro or in the Balkans.

I think the first priority in the Balkans is to remove Milosevic. The first priority is not to rethink or to change the constitution. We can resolve all of these problems after removing Milosevic from power.

Those who did everything to make the Socialists disappear from the political scene were not right, ... I'm sure we'll have 20 percent of the votes in the end and we'll be the strongest opposition party in the parliament.

My government won't lie to you, and we won't steal, ... And this is a solemn pledge.
