The President of the Committee for Security and Defense of the Parliament of Montenegro, Milan Knežević (DNP), announced that he had informed the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Montenegro, Dritan Abazović, about the "inappropriate influence of the National Security Agency (ANB) in changing the electoral will of the citizens of Kotor".
Knežević announced the information on Twitter and did not give any other details. Abazović confirmed to Vijesti that he was informed:
“I am informed. And I'm grateful for that. My personal experience is that it is a question of local political topics, that is, a local political issue. This issue does not affect the work of the service (ANB) managed by (Dejan) Vukšić. We will monitor the situation, but I really do not see a connection between the events in Kotor and what is the professional work of any service".
Two days ago, the DNP announced the filing of a criminal complaint against the president of the Municipal Election Commission in Kotor, Petar Abramović (DPS), because he did not take any action after the former DNP councilor Pavle Popović continued to serve as an independent.
The Deputy Prime Minister confirmed that this is the case. Milan Knežević does not answer Vijesta's questions even though he is a public official.
DNP deputy Maja Vukićević said two days ago that councilor Popović resigned on July 22, after which, as she said, he changed his mind and kept his councilmanship.
"On July 23, the day after Popović resigned, the DNP submitted a request to the MEC to fill the vacant board position, but that MEC session has not been held to date," stated Vukićević, according to the media.
She recalled that the Kotor Administrative Court did not state the termination of the mandate of a former colleague and announced the charges against Abramović and others responsible. The session of the local parliament at the beginning of August was not held because some DF councilors did not show up.
