The President of the Assembly, Aleksa Bečić, said that, unlike the previously postponed local elections in Tivat, the current initiative to unify local elections has a legal basis.
"A reminder for those who remained silent or supported the postponement of the elections in Tivat without any legal basis. The elections were postponed precisely by the Decision of the President of Montenegro during the election activities and after the submission of all electoral lists. Also, by the Decision of the MEC, all the election activities that were carried out and the electoral lists that were submitted remained in force, they were not annulled but stopped and the same continued until August 30, when they were held together with the remaining electoral processes," Bečić said on Twitter.
He said that even now no one is proposing anything different.
"That all electoral actions and all verified electoral lists remain in force, and that the process only continues in May, when all other local elections would be held. Only now we will have a legal basis, i.e. the amended Law on Local Self-Government. In case Tivat only one month after the President of Montenegro made the decision to postpone the elections, the DPS deputies in the Parliament of Montenegro voted to amend the Law on Local Self-Government and extend the mandate of the local self-government in Tivat. So much for principles, law and practice," he concluded. he.
