Đorđe Zenović, the holder of the list of Democrats in the last May elections in Budva, said that he was no longer ready to make compromises to the detriment of Budva and that this was one of the reasons why he left Democratic Montenegro.
In a post on his Facebook account, he said that it was time to continue his political struggle for the city "in his own way".
"After nine years spent in Democratic Montenegro, as one of its founders, I decided it was time to continue my political struggle for this city in my own way. I am especially proud of the two years in which Dragan Krapović managed the Municipality and this city started to restore the contours of an orderly, Mediterranean city in which no criminal clan, construction lobby or any non-institutional power center governs the city's development policy. Despite numerous challenges, together we have left an orderly system, stable financial conditions and we have instilled hope in the citizens that it can and will to be better. From 2019 to today, Budva has slipped into everything that I personally, as well as the people from the Budva Democrats' committee, fought against," wrote Zenović.
He also stated that they did not have the strength to push and promote ideas and that he considers this to be his personal responsibility.
"I am someone who has been involved in Budva and fought for Budva since the first day of my engagement in public affairs and politics, and I will not give up on that either now or in the future. I simply believed that Budva cannot and must no longer be a victim and a coin for the bribery of the official Podgorica, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Nikšić, Tirana, Belgrade or Singapore, and that decisions about Budva must be made in Budva. I understand the state policy and the legitimate interests of the parties at the state level, but I am no longer ready to make compromises to the detriment of the city in which I grew up and in which I will live. live until the last day".
As of August 30, 2020, Budva, wrote Zenović, did not experience the favor of the legislative and executive authorities at the state level, but rather continued the practice of the previous authorities.
"I fought and will fight against such practice, through one form or another, in one way or another, without feeling the pressure that I should 'reduce the experience' or bypass the truth for the sake of someone. I will still remain with my party friends of yesterday friend - as far as I'm concerned. We've been through all kinds of things together and nothing was foreign to us, but just like in an emotional relationship - when there's saturation and there's no more chemistry, it's time for us to part ways.
