Budva SNP leader Veselin Marković was elected as the new head of the local parliament in Budva.
The constitutive session was also marked by the exit of three CDU councilors because the anthem was not sung and because the flags of Montenegro and the Municipality of Budva were not displayed in the hall.
Marković said that it was an organizational failure and that he is not sure that it was done on purpose.
He added that the omission will be corrected in seven days, when a formal session will be held on the occasion of the Municipality Day.
The mayor of Budva, Srđa Popović, said that the session was prepared by the opposition, not the DPS.
The Acting President of the CDU, Dragan Ivančević, condemned that there were no national symbols in the hall of the Council of Ministers and he is afraid that the new government, as he said, a "conglomerate of parties" will be another difficult experiment for Budva.
The president of the Budva Liberal Party, Blažo Radjenović, said that this was "another in a series of fruitless attempts by the DPS to disunite the coalition and prevent the election of the president of the SO".
He said that the session was organized by the DPS and that by deliberately omitting the singing of the national anthem and national and municipal symbols, they wanted to provoke that the member of the Budva coalition had to leave the session.
"It is a sign of how much the DPS respects the symbols of the state and the municipality," said Blažo Radjenović.
In the new parliament, the Democrats and the Democratic Front have seven seats each, the coalition "Budva mora" (URA, SDP and LP) has one, while the coalition "Bura Budva" (Demos and SNP) has two councilors.
So far, the ruling DPS has 12 councilors in the new convocation, the Social Democrats have one, and the CDU has three councilor mandates.
