The Municipal Assembly (SO Ulcinj) today verified the mandates of councilors in accordance with the results of the local elections held on March 27, but did not elect a president.

The session was adjourned and will probably be held tomorrow.

After the mandates were verified, the chairwoman Jasmina Hasa (DUA) took a break because two candidacies were submitted for the election of the president of the SO - from the newly established majority, which proposed Ardian Mavrić (Forca), and the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), which proposed its own candidate. Ivan Popović.

Hasa, who presided over the constitutive session as the oldest member of the council, was not in the hall later, and the assembly service failed to prepare the necessary documents and ballots by 15.30:XNUMX p.m., so the session was interrupted.

Mavrić said that it was a classic obstruction of DUA and DPS.

"They won't be able to stop us. Now we have our request that the session be continued tomorrow, which the Democrats also supported," said Mavrić.

He stated that, among other things, the SO statute was violated because the break cannot last longer than half an hour.

And the future president of the Municipality, Omer Bajrkatari (URA), said that today's act violated the statute and the Law on Local Self-Government.

The new ruling majority was agreed last Saturday evening by the Coalition for a New Beginning and Force. The opposition benches in the next four years will include DUA-DSCG, DPS-BS and the Democrats.
