The Europe Now Movement (PES), the coalition "For the Future of Andrijevica" and the lists "For the Future of Our Children" and the Vasojević Unification Movement offered the alliance of the Socialist People's Party (SNP) and the Democrats two options for the formation of government in Andrijevica - a minority model of support or rotation on leading municipal functions, "Vijesti" learned unofficially.

According to the newspaper's unofficial information, the first option would mean that the minority SNP and the Democrats support four lists, and that they do not hold the key positions - the president of the municipality and the local parliament.

The second model would refer to representatives of the SNP and the Democrats being the leaders of the municipality and the assembly for two years of the government's mandate, and the PES, "For the future of Andrijevica", "For the future" of our children" and the Vasojević unification movement.

The constitutive session of the Andrijevic parliament is scheduled for today, at 12 noon, and the mandates of councilors should be confirmed at it.

Representatives of the coalition of SNP and Democrats, PES, "For the future of Andrijevica" and the remaining two lists, announced about fifteen days ago that they agreed on the positions on the program of the Andrijevica development plan at a meeting as part of the negotiations on the formation of the government. However, there was no agreement on the election of the government.

The meeting of those political actors, which was supposed to be held on Tuesday and where the division of functions was supposed to be discussed, was postponed to Saturday. One of the participants of the conversation told "Vijesta" the night before last that the SNP and the Democrats are not giving up on their request to be in the position of the mayor of the municipality.

The formation of a government in Andrijevica requires at least 16 votes of councilors, and therefore the ruling majority at the state level - PES, SNP, Democrats and the parties of the former Democratic Front (DF), which now form the coalition "For the future of Andrijevica", is necessary support or lists "For the future of our children" or the Vasojević unification movement.

Those two lists announced before the start of the negotiations that the SNP and the Democrats could not be in the leading positions. Holders of the list "For the future of our children" and the Vasojević unification movement, Ivan Radojević i Vesko Raketic, announced immediately after the announcement of the election results that they would not allow the president of the municipality and the local parliament to be from the SNP and the Democrats, "because they showed themselves in previous years" when they were in power, and that "they did nothing for the benefit of the citizens of Andrijevica". .

After the local elections in 2020, the government in Andrijevica was formed by SNP, New Serbian Democracy (NSD), Democrats and Demos. The position of President of the Municipality went to the SNP (Željko Ćulafić), and the position of President of the Municipal Assembly (SO) to the Democrats (Mladen Djukic). However, last year there was friction within the ruling coalition, so the Government introduced forced administration in Andrijevica in March of this year due to the non-functioning of the local administration. In that municipality, a group of citizens for several months last year prevented the holding of the session where the vote on the dismissal of Ćulafić was supposed to take place.

In the local elections held on June 2, the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) won 11 mandates, the list of the SNP and Democrats eight, PES four, the lists "For the Future of Andrijevica" (NSD, Democratic People's Party, Prava Montenegro and Slobodna Montenegro ) and "For the future of our children" for three mandates each, and the Vasojević unification movement for one.
