The former vice-president of the Municipality of Budva Ljubomir Filipović informed the president of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Ranko Krivokapić that he will leave the party, due to disagreements with the president of the Budva SDP, Mihailo Đurović. He told the leader of the SDP that he was leaving the party, among other things, because of Đurović's decision to cancel the tender for the lease of 150 swimming pools from Budva to Bar, stating that it harmed the party.
"Based on the information I have, the experiences of tenants from Budva and the explanation of "Morski dobr", I consider the decision to cancel the tender to be scandalous. All decisions that we as party members make in the executive branch also have political consequences. It will be the same with this decision. About your further political involvement, first inform the leadership of the SDP out of respect for the joint work so far," Filipović told "Vijesti".
The public company "Morsko dobro", headed by Đurović, announced that it will cancel the tender for the lease of swimming pools in Bar, Budva, Kotor and Tivat due to alleged irregularities in the public invitation. That decision caused the indignation of certain tenants, who announced that they would file lawsuits against Morski Dobr. According to the claims of people familiar with the situation in the Budva SDP, the decision of "Morski Dobr" was just the last straw, which is why Filipović publicly announced the long-awaited decision. Filipović, along with Đurović, was a candidate for the head of the Budva SDP, but the current chairman of the board was elected by a two-thirds majority.
Đurović was previously appointed as the director of JP "Morsko dobro" at the proposal of the Government, leaving the post of Secretary for Economy and Finance of the Municipality of Budva. Filipović recently refused the position of vice-president of SDP Budva, which was offered to him by Đurović.
Two years ago, Filipović caused a political upheaval in the ruling coalition when, while the then mayor Lazar Radjenović was detained in Spuška prison due to the "Košljun" affair, he withdrew his signature from the contract for the sale of 22 hectares of municipal land in the locality of Dubovac in the hinterland of Kraljičine plaža to an Arab company.
