Mojkovac: DPS has absolute power

In Mojkovac, slightly more than 83 percent of registered voters exercised their right to vote in today's local elections, which is at the same level as the turnout from the local elections in 2013.

The winner of the election is DPS, which won absolute power in that city.

There were fewer incidents than in Cetinje, and most of them were related to the election headquarters of the Democratic Party of Socialists, which the opposition complained about.
