The Aleksa and Dritan – Count Bravely! (Montenegrin: Алекса и Дритан – Храбро се броји!, romanized: Aleksa i Dritan – Hrabro se broji!) was a Montenegrin political coalition between Democratic Montenegro and United Reform Action, established on 17 May 2023.

History

On 17 May 2023, an agreement was published to create a coalition between the two parties and that they would go to the 2023 parliamentary election as a single list.[1] The first on the list of the coalition is Aleksa Bečić, the leader of Democratic Montenegro, and the second is Dritan Abazović, the leader of the United Reform Action and the current Prime Minister of Montenegro.[2]

Ideology and goals

Accelerated economic development, protection of minority rights, social justice, solidarity and comprehensive health care are stated as goals of political action of the coalition. The coalition ruled out any possibility of participating in government with the formerly ruling Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) after the 2023 parliamentary election.[1] Coalition leader Aleksa Bečić also emphasized the fight against the mafia, corruption and xenophobia during the election campaign.[3][4]
