He said that he is proud of the team that possesses both knowledge and courage.
"We will implement projects, raise the standard of living of citizens and work on sustainable tourism, with the help of our friends in the government. Budva must move forward, and that by working to reconcile everyone. Budva is all: Grbalj, Pljevlja, Paštrovići, Bijelo Polje, Maini , Vasojevići, Mojkovac, Brajići, Nikšić. We will all work together for the benefit of Budva, Budva must go forward. On Sunday, November 17, we celebrate the victory of all of us", concluded Mikijelj.

"In recent months, Budva has gone through a period of irresponsible management that the citizens would rather forget. This situation happens when the city is neglected and abused, instead of being managed in a homely manner. This year, the image of Budva, marred by garbage and works in the middle of the tourist season, showed is that this approach is not what Budva deserves. It's time to change that," said Kordić.
She emphasized that Budva is at a turning point and must return to domestic management.
"Mladen Mikijelj, as the host of his family and the host of the Public Enterprise for the Management of the Maritime Assets of Montenegro and the future president of the Municipality of Budva, will lead Budva forward. Budva is the jewel of Montenegro. Budva lives on tourism, but tourism also largely lives on Budva." Kordić concluded.
Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management and President of the Socialist People's Party (SNP), Vladimir Joković, pointed out that Budva can be strong thanks to its resources, but only with responsible people who are ready to work for the citizens.
"We have the best coalition. I invite all citizens of Budva who want its progress to support the coalition 'For the future of Budva - Budva must go forward' on November 17 and the future president of the Municipality of Budva, Mladen Mikijelj, M.Sc.," said Joković.

"We remained consistent with the principles and against the regime that discriminated against Montenegro. There is no cooperation with the DPS, unlike others," emphasized Vukićević.
She added that Budva must no longer be held hostage by political entities and must not wait.
"On November 17, Budva is moving forward," said Vukićević.
The President of the Parliament of Montenegro and the President of the New Serbian Democracy (NSD), Andrija Mandić, emphasized the importance of unity and cooperation for the progress of Budva.
"You are the winners of the election, Mr. Mladen Mikijelj is the president of the Municipality of Budva. You will make this city a true metropolis of tourism, which will not be known for garbage and crime, because Budva is made up of virtuous and honest people," said Mandić.
He emphasized that Budva needs brave people who will work for its progress.
"We are here because we believe that we can achieve the changes that citizens expect," said Mandić, calling for unity and support for the coalition.
He said that Budva contributes the most to the capital budget of Montenegro, and that it is important to give it back through key infrastructure projects: a promenade, a ring road, a hospital.
"It is the duty of our ministers, vice-presidents and deputies to direct the funds to projects that will bring real benefits to the citizens. Budva must be managed in a domestic manner, without corruption. If there had been no corruption and crime in the last 30 years, Budva would be much better today," he concluded. is Mandic.
