The head of the Democratic committee, Vladimiri Martinović, requested with an amendment that the famous caricaturist Darko Drljević be appointed as the president of the Council of the Kolašin Cultural Center. According to the proposal of the Decision on the appointment of the Council, Drljević was proposed as one of the members of that body, while Željko Braunović was planned to be the president.
"Regardless of the fact that no candidate was proposed by the opposition, nor did the current parliamentary majority DPS-GB-SD respect the opposition in any way, we consider it realistic and reasonable that a prominent artist should be found for the president of the Council of such an institution from among the proposed candidates , cartoonist Darko Drljević", Martinović wrote in the explanation.
He reminds that Drljević has so far won 207 awards at international competitions. The caricaturist, says the head of the Demokrata board club, has had 60 solo and over 450 collective exhibitions so far.
"He is a participant in many painting colonies, as well as a caricature colony. He was included in the world anthology "Famous World Caricaturists". He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the humorous magazine "Tuš" and the organizer of the International Caricature Festival in Kolašin. He is engaged in painting, illustration, graphics, illustrating textbooks, as well as animated films. He was declared cartoonist of the year in Serbia and Montenegro. He published a book of caricatures and short stories in 2010... He was also the winner of a special prize for painting in Nakcivan-Azerbaijan in 2013," wrote Martinović.
Due to all this, the head of the Democrata committee believes that "it is a matter of principle and social responsibility that Drljević should be the head of the Kolašin Cultural Center, and not someone who is not from that area". According to Martinović, "any other solution would have been the complete degradation of the Culture Center".
In addition to Drljević and Braunović, there should be Radoica Jovanović, Sanja Vlahović and Draginja Kujović in the Council of that institution, as proposed by the executive power.
