The results of local elections from October 23 have been announced in eight municipalities so far - in Bar, Bijelo Polje, Budva, Plužine, Rožaje, Tivat, Zeta and Žabljak.
Although lawyers and the non-governmental sector emphasize that the municipal election commissions cannot announce the final results of the elections within the legal period of 15 days, until the Constitutional Court makes a decision on the submitted appeals, the MEC Budva did so on Tuesday. In connection with the election process in Budva, two appeals were filed before the Constitutional Court, which does not have a quorum for decision-making.
The Constitutional Court does not have a quorum for work, because out of seven judges, four have retired. At the moment, there is no qualified majority in the Assembly for the election of judges of the Constitutional Court.
According to the final results of the local elections in Budva, the list "Milo Božović - Budva in first place!" - The Democratic Front won an absolute majority - 18 mandates. The list "The real thing, the coalition Unique for Budva - Dragana Mitrović" - DPS, SDP, SD, LP and GI May 21" nine mandates, and the list "Dragan Krapović - Let's go people! - Democrats - Demos" for four terms.
The list "SNP - Temeljno za Budva" and "Dr Dritan Abazović - Može Budva!" won one mandate each. Montenegro can do it! - Civil movement URA". The lists "Dr. Vujičić Božidar - Civil action - For a better Budva" and "Luka Liješević - True Montenegro - We keep our word - Marko Milačić" did not pass the census. The holder of the electoral list "Dr. Božidar Vujičić - Civic action - For a better Budva" Božidar Vujičić submitted several objections to the State Election Commission (SEK), some of which were rejected.
The SEC told Vijesti that tonight at the session they will decide on another complaint against Vujičić.
They note that the SEC formally and legally does not decide on the confirmation of the election.
