The caucuses of the Democrats and the Europe Now Movement (PES) announced that they will not attend today's session of the Pljevlja Municipal Assembly, stating that the meeting they initiated on December 24th last year, which was supposed to serve to resolve open and contentious issues within the parliamentary majority, has not been held to date.
As they point out in a joint statement, their decision does not represent an abdication of political responsibility, but rather, as they state, a clear appeal for the urgent establishment of dialogue and the restoration of mutual trust among coalition partners.
"This move is a consequence, not a cause, of the political crisis," say the Democrats and PES, adding that instead of dialogue, they are faced with ignoring, unilateral decisions, and a complete lack of will to resolve problems within the coalition that won the trust of citizens in the elections.
The statement emphasizes that since the moment the initiative for the meeting was submitted, certain problems have further deepened, while new ones have emerged, which, according to them, indicates that the current method of governance is not sustainable.
Because of all of the above, the Democrats and PES demand that the leadership of the New Serbian Democracy of the Pljevlja Municipal Board, without further delay, convene urgent coalition consultations of the parliamentary majority, in order to overcome the existing crisis and ensure the functioning of local government.
