Pljevlja Municipal Assembly session postponed again, there were only 10 councilors in the hall - five from the ruling majority and five from the opposition

The session of the Pljevlja Municipal Assembly (MA) was postponed again this morning due to lack of quorum.

10 councilors appeared in the hall, five from the opposition and five from the ruling majority, so Parliament Speaker Jovana Tošić was forced to postpone the session.

Tošić said that a new date for the continuation of the session would be set in the coming days, but did not specify when.

The caucuses of the Democrats and the Europe Now Movement (PES) announced this morning 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.

The head of the DPS parliamentary group, Marko Tošić, said that the parliamentary majority is using the citizens of Pljevlja as hostages due to their personal and political disagreements.

"This has to stop here, citizens must no longer be hostages to your ignorance and primitivism. We have never had such a crisis in Montenegro or Pljevlja," said Tošić in his procedural address.
