Leković to Raičević: The citizens of Bar remember well "your private interviews", the only goal of which is to put everything under your control

Although an attack is the best defense, in the specific case when the Municipality of Bar is trying to basely accuse me as an alderman of some kind of "ignorance" and "illiteracy" because of a publicly stated truth, this attack on me will not go well, and especially they will not defend everything they are spent in the past decade at the expense of the citizens of Bar.

This was said by Momčilo Leković, a Democrat councilor in the SO Bar, responding to the reaction Municipality of Bar, in which it is stated that Leković is still trying to problematize the work of municipal services where there are no problems.

Leković said that the Municipality of Bar, i.e. its president, "whose phrases are clear throughout the entire response", putting himself in the position of lawyer Branimir Gvozdenović, by distorting the facts, is trying to cover up that Gvozdenović's speech in the Municipality building cost the citizens of Bar as much as someone's average monthly salary in Montenegro Burning.

"Mr. Raičević, that is the first truth and you cannot defend it. If to you 500 euros is an "insignificant misery" that I am unnecessarily underlining, ask what someone who receives a monthly minimum of 200 or 250 euros, that is, someone who barely survives, and there are many such in Bar. The other truth is that all contracts and many expenses were concluded or made in a period when there was no pandemic, and this is evidenced by the clear dates of conclusion, while I note that the citizens of Bar remember well "your private interviews" before also private ones microphone, during the "cypress revolution", when you explained in your expositions why the cutting of cypress trees was justified, and why the citizens were wrong. And your justifications were paid for by the citizens of Bar," said Leković in response.

He told Raičević that due to the pandemic, he will not be able to justify the expenses he "reasonably" makes year after year, all so that "you and your president of the municipal board, on the streets of Bar, look "professional", with cameras and drones".

"Third truth - you said everything about local television that a modern and educated administration, i.e. the president, would not. Instead of establishing a local television being your primary goal or achievement, you, in your "manic" attack on me, question the expediency of the existence of local television of municipal television? Well, Mr. President, its opening will first of all create new jobs. It will be an opportunity for many media creators to finally be themselves, for Bar to finally get a window to the world or the region. It is sad that I, as a councilor, have to I am educating about it. The fourth truth. The independence of the local public broadcaster. The proof of how much you want the media in Bar to be truly "independent" is shown by your "attack" in August of last year on the editorial staff of Radio Bar and the Bar info portal. Then, I remind the public, you accused this media house for "tendency in reporting and party propaganda", and "unprofessionalism and bias in reporting" and that only because of the fact that they did not mention the director of the Waterworks, i.e. the staff of the party to which you belong, in the report from the session. As a form of classic pressure but also a threat, you address the following to the editors: "The work of the Radio Bar will definitely be discussed at the session of the SO Bar, where we should expect councilors from all parties, including the DPS, to announce their views." Then you tried to directly influence the editorial policy of the local public broadcaster," Leković said.

He states that this is exactly the goal and the only truth of the President of the Municipality of Bar - to put everything under his control, to control everything, including the course of the assembly sessions.

"Finally, I want to inform you that I am used to your down-to-earth approach and exchange of theses, but that, nor anything else, will not stop me from publicly stating the truth that all citizens of Bar must know, that you are a consumer, that you are selling the land for nothing , that you demolish parks, fake tenders, put pressure on the media, and that in the end your only real achievement is being a lawyer on call in Branimir Gvozdenović's office," concluded Leković.
