The Municipal Assembly (MA) Service of Budva has no information about the date of the continuation of the procedure for electing the president of the MA, and they are awaiting the opinion of the Ministry of Public Administration (MPA) regarding the status of the interrupted MA session and the deadlines within which the election can be conducted.
This was told to "Vijesti" by the parliamentary service, which sent a letter two days ago to the department headed by Maraš Dukaj asking for an answer about the status of the suspended session and the deadline by which the parliament must be constituted.
When asked whether the MPA had carried out supervision, the answer was that this government department had requested the submission of documents related to the holding of the constituent session, noting that the same request had been submitted during previous sessions of the Municipal Assembly.
As a reminder, the constituent session, whose agenda included the election of the Speaker of Parliament, was adjourned on January 10. The Parliamentary Service requested the opinion of the MPA precisely because of the specific nature of the situation, because the session was scheduled by the Government, since the Budva parliament was not constituted even after the May elections last year, that is, the head of parliament was not elected.
Considering that the deadline for holding the session by law, and considering that the final results of the November elections were announced on December 13 last year, was midnight on January 12, Dukaj's department is being asked to explain whether the interrupted constituent session has been completed or whether it can be continued, considering that the legal deadline for electing the President of the Municipal Assembly expires on February 12.
The oldest councilor, Savo Medigović (Budva naš grad), presides over the parliament, and if the session is not over, it is up to him to schedule a continuation. He did not respond to calls from "Vijesti".
Petar Odžić from the European Union was proposed for the Speaker of the Parliament by eight councilors from "Budva Our City", two from the European Union and one from the URA.
