The holder of the "Dr. Vujičić Božidar - Voice for Change" list, Božidar Vujičić filed an objection to the report of the Municipal Election Commission (MEC) on the results of the voting for councilors in the municipality of Budva.

"The MEC's ​​report on the results of voting for councilors in the Budva municipality, which refers to the election of councilors, does not contain data on which candidates from electoral lists received councilor mandates, but only data on how many votes or mandates each electoral list received. Because of the above, the Report does not represent the freely expressed will of the citizens in democratic elections, because it is not known which candidates won the councilman's mandate, but which electoral lists won the mandates, therefore they cannot even be recognized. According to the aforementioned report, mandates are assigned to Electoral lists that are not holders of sovereignty, so they cannot receive them, holders of sovereignty are candidates for councilors on electoral lists and only they can receive mandates, which was not stated by the MEC Report on the results of voting for councilors in the area of ​​the Municipality of Budva", he stated. Vujičić objected.

The report of the MEC on the results of voting for councilors in the area of ​​Budva municipality, as he emphasized, was brought contrary to the provisions of Article 2 of the Constitution of Montenegro.

"The Constitution stipulates that the bearer of sovereignty is a citizen who has Montenegrin citizenship. Citizens exercise power directly and through freely elected representatives. An authority that does not arise from the freely expressed will of the citizens in democratic elections, in accordance with the law, cannot be established or recognized. The report of the MEC on the results of voting for councilors in the area of ​​the Municipality of Budva is also contrary to the provision of Article 9 of the Constitution of Montenegro, which reads "Confirmed and published international treaties and generally accepted rules of international law are an integral part of the internal legal order, have primacy over domestic legislation and are directly applied when they regulate relations differently from the internal legislation", quoted Vujičić.

Also, as he added, the report is contrary to Article 145 of the Constitution of Montenegro, which states that "The law must be consistent with the Constitution and confirmed international treaties, and other regulations must be consistent with the Constitution and the law." The report is against Article 3 of the Additional Protocol to the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as Article 3 of the European Charter on Local Self-Government. contain the data, which candidates for councilors have received councilor mandate", Vujičić concluded.
