United Montenegro in Kolašin is considering whether to continue to be in a coalition with Democratic Montenegro, and therefore remain in the Kolašin government.
This was confirmed to "Vijesti" by the president of the Municipal Board of Ujedinjena Vukoman Kojović, who said that they have not yet made a final decision on this.
"We are seriously considering leaving the coalition with the Democrats and participating in local government. We will make a decision about that in the coming days," Kojović told "Vijesti".
He did not want to talk about the reasons for a possible split with the Democrats and leaving power, but, as he explains, he will first inform the Mayor of the Municipality, Petar Bakić (Democrats).
In the last local elections in Kolašin, held in October 2022, the party was part of the coalition list "Vladimir Martinović - Let's Go People - Democrats - United Montenegro", which won nine seats.
In addition to Kojović, his party colleague Marija Kovijanić is also on the council benches.
According to unofficial information from "Vijesti", representatives of Ujedinjena have been dissatisfied for a long time because they were not consulted on some of the key decisions of the local executive authority.
Immediately after the formation of the government, the acting (acting) director of the Kolasin Municipal Company, Stojan Bulatović from Ujedinjena, was dismissed from that position, and a Democrat cadre, Dušan Simović, took his place.
The Kolašin Basic Court recently issued a final decision, according to which Bulatović's dismissal was illegal.
In addition to the Democrats and the United Party, the Kolašin ruling majority also includes four councilors from the For the Future of Kolašin list, three each from the Europe Now Movement and the Socialist People's Party (SNP), and one from the Civic Movement URA.
A possible decision by the United Party not to be part of the ruling majority cannot threaten the Kolasin government.
There are 31 councilors in the Municipal Assembly, nine of whom are from the opposition Movement Together We Build Kolašin (DPS, SDP, SD and non-party figures) and two from the Group of Voters (GB) For Our Kolašin - Dr. Momčilio Vukčević.
