The stalemate in which Budva found itself two full months after the local elections could finally be resolved, if the Budva Democrats nominate their list holder Đorđe Zenović as the president of the Municipal Assembly.
Such a decision, as "Vijesti" was told, should be confirmed by the municipal committee of this party by noon tomorrow, when the Government scheduled the continuation of the constituent session.
It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will decide on such a move.
"News" confirmed that for now, no proposal for the president of the Municipal Assembly has been submitted to the parliamentary service, which must be signed by a third of the councilors, that is, 11 of them.
The Democrats as a party were seen as coalition partners of both conflicting lists, former party comrades - the lists "Budva naš grad" (Nikola Jovanović) and "For the future of Budva" (Mladen Mikijelj).
"Vijesti" previously announced that Mikijeljova and the Pokret Evropa newspaper have now sent a proposal to the Democrats to propose a candidate for the president of the parliament and that they will support it.
17 councilors need to vote for the election of the SO president.
Mikijelj's and Jovanović's lists each have nine councilors, Democrats four, PES two, while URA and SDP have one councilor each, and the Democratic Party of Socialists seven.
The Democrats announced at the constitutive session that they would come out with their platform, and this move, proposing Zenović, would be one in a series that this party would take in order to resolve the deep crisis and division in the city.
If judging by the current statements of political players, councilors from almost all parliamentary parties except DPS would practically raise their hands for the election of Zenović, so he would have the support of as many as 26 councilors.
With the election of the president of the SO, the parliament would be constituted, and Budva's political parties would have another month to elect the first man of the Municipality.
If the Budva parliament is not constituted by August 6, the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, would call for extraordinary elections, so the citizens of Budva would go to the polls again in the fall, for the fourth time in the past four years.
