May" and the Liberal Party (LP) won the ninth mandate. Compared to the 2020 elections, the DF won seven more mandates, while the Democrats fell from six to four, and the coalition gathered around the DPS, which had 11 mandates, to nine. SNP lost one councilor, and URA had one councilor even then.

"This victory in Budva is the biggest victory in Montenegro over an organized criminal group called DPS. They did not win nine mandates, although that would be the Istprij minimum. DPs won five mandates out of 33 and that clearly tells them what Budva thinks of them. Not about these people who were on the DPS list, but about their bosses. They thought that since they did not take part when Budva was sacked, they could allow the biggest enemies of this city to hide behind them, who were ready to destroy this city for their personal interests. Five mandates are too many for them in my opinion. I see this as a victory for Budva, not for DF," said Božović.

"We will prove that we keep our word, I will insist that we work a hundred times more than now. I will demand results from my team", said Božović.

"What the citizens of Budva voted for today is that DPS goes into the past, fortunately for Budva and Podgorica and Montenegro." On the other hand, we have shown that we have support that is growing slightly. I congratulate Milo Božović and his list on the outstanding result. We are ready to form a government with all political actors (except DPS) that will return Budva to the very top of desirable tourist destinations, and bring prosperity and changes to the citizens. We want a Budva tailored to the citizens, a cosmopolitan Budva, a Mediterranean, ecological Budva where all its citizens will feel comfortable and safe.
