DPS: The government in Žabljak is falling apart, citizens are paying the price for disturbed relations within the majority

"Such a dysfunctional government in practice constantly produces problems, which we have been witnessing continuously for some time now, due to which there were problems with the adoption of the 2026 Budget, and the price of these disturbed relations within the government is paid only and exclusively by citizens," the DPS Žabljak statement states.

The Municipal Board (MO) of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) in Žabljak announced today that the government in that city is falling apart, and that the citizens are paying the price for disrupted relations within the majority.

According to them, the Mayor of Žabljak, Radoš Žugić, at yesterday's session of the local parliament, once again withdrew the Decision on the construction of the city square from the agenda.

"Given that the decision is being made for the fourth time in a row, because Žugić cannot secure a majority for it in the government ranks, it is clear that Žabljak is today governed by a classically out-of-tune orchestra. As a reminder, this decision was proposed twice by the Durmitor Initiative Councilors' Club, and twice by President Žugić, who is also a representative of the Durmitor Initiative. All previous decisions have therefore been withdrawn due to legal shortcomings," the DPS Žabljak statement states.

As they said, yesterday's session also exposed the truth that the current government in Žabljak is dysfunctional, because it was not tailored based on a shared vision for the development of our city, but was composed on the principle of chairs and the privileges that they bring with them, that is, on the basis of trading seats in depth and on the basis of blackmail.

"In practice, such a dysfunctional government constantly produces problems, which we have been witnessing for some time now, due to which there were problems with the adoption of the 2026 Budget, and the price of these disrupted relations within the government is paid only and exclusively by citizens," it states.

They added that, "after everything that has been continuously repeated, it is clear that Žugić has lost the legitimacy to be the mayor of the municipality."

"...and that every day of the survival of this and such a parliamentary majority is another day of the decline of Žabljak, which we will stop by winning the elections and sending these incompetents and pests into the opposition," the statement concludes.
