It added that the Montenegrin Party previously participated independently in state, provincial and local elections several times, but that this time they believe that "the priority is to create conditions for a change of government and democratization of Serbian society" - in which, "ethnic minority communities will exercise their rights guaranteed by the Constitution and laws in reality, not just formally".

The Montenegrin Party further said it remains committed to the fight for a democratic Serbia, the rule of law and the full realization of the rights of Montenegrin and all other national minority communities.
