(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 03 MAG - The political opposition in Montenegro should submit today all the names of their representatives which will cover roles in the ad-interim Government, as agreed by the agreement for fair elections signed with the prime minister Milo Djukanovic last week. The agreement, result of 5-month long negotiations, is a compromise to the requests for Djukanovic's resignation. The prime minister, cornered by the abandoment of its long-term coalition partner, SDP, agreed to allow the opposition to control several ministries - Interiors, Agriculture, Labour and Finances - in order to allow it bigger control over the abuse of public resources during the campaign for the October parliamentary elections. According to the agreement - which is to be put in action through a special law to be voted over the next days - also concedes the opposition 50 positions within the Government-owned companies and 150 in the local administrations. Other than Djukanovic and its former coalition partner, SDP, the agreement has been signed by two small parties of the political centre - Ura and Demos. The biggest opposition group, Demokratski Front, Df, did not sign it, as they are against any comprimise with Djukanovic.

Since last September, Df has been organising street protests in which they ask for Djukanovic's resignation and early elections.
