The first municipal election conference of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) for the congress planned for the end of the year will be held today in Danilovgrad.

The last election conference is planned for June 29 in the largest municipal committee in Podgorica, "Vijesti" confirmed.

DPS leader Milo Đukanović, who according to the information so far is the only candidate for that position at the upcoming congress, will address his party colleagues in Danilovgrad today. After him, the report is planned to be submitted by the president of the municipal board, Zorica Kovačević.

At the session on May 6, the President of DPS expressed her satisfaction with "the quality of the proposals of candidates for membership in party committees at the local level, which are represented to a significant extent by new, young and educated people, as well as an enviable number of women".

DPS political director Tarzan Milošević previously told "Vijesta" that the DPS congress will most likely be held at the end of November or the beginning of December this year.

"Preparations for the congress, election of delegates, nomination of candidates for the Main Committee and other party bodies at the state level should be held in September and October, while the congress will be at the end of November or the beginning of December," Milošević said.

He will most likely leave that position in the party because he is planned to be the new ambassador of Montenegro in Belgrade. According to the DPS Statute, the political director is appointed by the Presidency on the proposal of the party leader.

The DPS did not announce whether they would change the party documents or whether the party structure would remain as it was until now, because at the 2015 congress, vice-presidential posts were abolished, and a deputy president was introduced. It is now Prime Minister Duško Marković.

The Constitution and the Law on the President do not say that the President of the State must not be a member of the party, but it is good practice that he has frozen the party position until now". Đukanović said earlier that it will be discussed and that there are "experiences of both types".
